If all you want is to tar the package sources, then you can create
empty directories

/Projects/elpa/packages/ada-mode
/Projects/elpa/packages/wisi

and run the ada-mode Makefile pub-ada and pub-wisi targets. That will
populate those directories.

You only need the ELPA Makefile to make actual ELPA packages to test
installing them.
