Still not ideal for core packages (package-install is currently useless
for them).
Maybe something like

(if (elpaa--spec-get pkg-spec :core)
  (insert "<p>To install this package from Emacs, use <code>list-packages</code>.</p>")
(insert "<p>To install this package from Emacs, use <code>package-install</code> or <code>list-packages</code>.</p>"))
