Done, with 2b96305 in elpa and 116030 in emacs.

Now we need a package rebuild to test it.

I don't really like the solution on the Emacs side (treating :keywords
value specially), but quoting and unquoting every element in extras (in
`package--alist-to-plist' and `package-desc-from-define' respectively)
wouldn't look particularly good to me either.
