The infrastructure for (Non)GNU ELPA can already handle packages without
an "upstream" (in which case the authoritative "upstream" is the coe in
`elpa.git` or `nongnu.git`), so there is no need for an
additional archive.
We don't currently have such orphaned packages in NonGNU ELPA, but
we do have several in GNU ELPA.
