I am not exactly sure what is going on here, but the README file on the
elpa-admin branch mentions this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This file exists in two branches ~elpa-admin~ and ~elpa~.  The two version
differ slightly.  The introductory text before the first heading
differs and there are minor differences concerning the ~externals/*~ to
~elpa/*~ transition.  Please make sure you always update this file in
both locations to avoid introducing additional differences.  This
duplication will be removed eventually.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It should be configurable?  Or at least `elpaa-read-config' does set it.
