This is not done for the other packages (except commit 5698b8b82ce which
is very unusual by itself), and I don't think it is needed.  If you
insist, it's probably better to move this 'let' inside origin uri, but I
would just remove it, and write the name inside uri in a usual manner.

This library is not needed.  You probably added it to make
"tests/flx-test.el" compiled, but don't bother about it.  This tests dir
is not a part of this emacs package.  Ideally such files should be
removed by emacs-build-system, but currently it just leaves everything
from the original source (including .gitignore, .travis.yml, etc.).
