That was what I had in mind as well, but I don’t see why we would need
'(gnu nongnu #f) instead of just '(gnu nongnu).  If PKG is not in ELPA,
we _don’t_ want to check for updates, and therefore, #f shouldn’t be a
member of the list.

I took a stab at the problem (patch attached below), and the result
seems to be what would be expected.
