I've already taken this problem to emacs-devel since it is indeed a
general problem.

I might still propose a workaround for Org since it is unlikely that
Emacs 24.3 will already ship with an improved package manager and in any
case older Emacsen would not have it.  Also, Org is in a somewhat unique
position right now, being both in Emacs' core and ELPA at the same time
and this is what made the problem so highly visible (as I'm sure you're
painfully aware of by now).

Yes, the plan (yet to be fully developed) is to add some basic
infrastructure to Emacs that an updated package manager can then use —
or individual libraries if they desire to do this, although I'd be happy
to leave it to package manager.
