Subject: 30.0.50; [ELPA] Inaccurate installation instructions for built-in packages

Hi,

All the Emacs packages distributed via ELPA share the same installation
instruction:

    To install this package, run in Emacs:
    
    M-x package-install RET <package-name> RET

However, this command will fail for built-in packages. This is
particularly a problem for older (<29) Emacs versions.

May the instruction be corrected?

Original discussion is for Org, but the same will apply for other
packages distributed with Emacs. https://orgmode.org/list/878rdbwlf3.fsf@localhost
