What is it about the built-in package that "informs" package.el?
I just did a test with so-long.el and got slightly odd results.
1. I ran Emacs 27.2 (which includes so-long 1.0) with a fresh profile.
2. I then installed v1.1 from
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/so-long-1.1.tar.lz
3. I then quit and ran Emacs 28 (which includes so-long 1.1.2).
4. M-x package-refresh-contents
5. M-x package-list-packages
6. M-x occur RET so-long
Result:
3 matches for "so-long" in buffer: *Packages*
310: so-long 1.1.2 available gnu
388: so-long 1.1 installed
444: so-long 1.0 built-in
The actual so-long functionality is good (the built-in version 1.1.2 is
used in practice, as desired), but that listing is definitely confused.
