Installation instructions should indeed point to GNU ELPA, and I will get to
fixing that by end of today. I converted the PR to draft to signal it is
incomplete for now.

Philip, since we are targeting just ELPA, do you think this can be
worked on after publishing? Merging to mainline is a distant issue, and
fixing manual is a future step on that path, as listed before:
