* in the emacs-24 branch:

bug-reference.el and map-ynp.el do not provide a feature.
misearch.el provides `multi-isearch' instead of `misearch'.

userlock.el, patcomp.el, forms-d2.el and forms-pass.el also
don't provide a feature but it seems this intentional.
However I think they then should not appear in `packages-builtins'.
The last two could possibly be added to the forms package.

* in the elpa branch:

markchars.el does not provide a feature.

Should be fixed now.

Should be fixed now.

Done.

It's already been moved to obsolete in trunk a while ago.

Oh, I see, you're looking at the 24.1 code, but in the trunk these files
have been moved to "etc/forms" so they should not be a problem any more.

>>> * in the elpa branch:
>>> markchars.el does not provide a feature.

Should be fixed now.
