I can see it working now, but it looks like Org mode ELPA definition is
not setting :core. However, it is not clear if it should.

AFAIU, with :core, the build happens from Emacs git repo, which works
for packages developed in Emacs repo, but not for packages that are only
_distributed_ with Emacs.

I am wondering if we should introduce a special keyword for such packages.
