[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]

From: Lin Jian <me <at> linj.tech>

Subject: 30.1; package--description-file handles some packages wrong

Actual result:
(package--description-file "/some/path/p4-16-mode-0.3")
  ⇒ "p4-pkg.el"

Expected result:
(package--description-file "/some/path/p4-16-mode-0.3")
  ⇒ "p4-16-mode-pkg.el"

This example is for p4-16-mode[0].  There are a few other packages
having this issue, such as auth-source-1password[1], comment-dwim-2[2],
cyberpunk-2019-theme[3], iso-639[4], ox-750words[5] and
tango-2-theme[6].
