  (The variable is now called package--builtin-versions.)

python does indeed appear in the value of package--builtin-versions.
Maybe that was already the case when I originally reported otherwise.
While python.el still does not define the "Package" header keyword, it
does define "Version".  And that is enough for it to be considered a
package (see autoload-generate-file-autoloads).

However grep, cpp and compile still do not appear there.
