FWIW, I like the `package-vc` prefix for that functionality.

I think it gives the wrong intuition.  `package-install` also fetches
the source code.  The difference is whether we get the VCS info with it.

When I describe the way I install packages with `elpa-admin.el`
I usually say that I "install from Git", so maybe for discoverability
purposes we could use something like `package-install-from-vcs` or
`package-install-from-git` (not sure it's worth the trouble,
personally).
