I looked at the dash package's .elpaignore and its archive downloaded
from GNU ELPA and I see the same problem there.

It's as if the .elpaignore is.. ignored :)

Then I looked at another ELPA package arbitrarily: vundo and there its
test/ directory is not getting packaged in the archive.. because its
ignore specification is put in the elpa-packages file.

I'd like to help debug the issue with .elpaignore. And here's Plan B
if we cannot get .elpaignore to work as expected:
