Hm...  I don't think there's a way to do that, really.  ELPA packages
don't tag to Emacs :versions, I think?  I mean, not usually.  So I'm
closing this as a wontfix, but if anybody disagrees, please reopen.

But running M-x customize-changed-options revealed a bug in a custom
spec, at least, which I think I've fixed now.  :-)
