Nice idea. Have you tested, that it also works for GNU ELPA packages?
And no, pls change the tests in GNU ELPA yet, unless they require Emacs 28.

I miss a patch for dbus-tests.el.

For Tramp, I would need to adapt your change due to backward
compatibility. But don't worry, your patch could go as it is into master before.

Best regards, Michael.
