That sounds sane.  I recommend you install it and then next time we make
a change to `erc.el` (without changing the `Version:` yet) we can check
the generated package on https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/erc.html

Note that GNU-devel :core packages are only produced when the "main"
file (e.g. `erc.el`) is modified (contrary to non-:core packages, where
any new commit causes a new tarball to be produced).
