I donʼt see that, but I do have eg:

  helm-core                      20230317.1729  available    melpa    Development files for Helm
  helm-core                      20220425.1625  dependency            Development files for Helm
  helm-core                      20220824.1925  obsolete              Development files for Helm

Maybe I should trim my `package-archives'
