So I think we need to rephrase that.  Something like

    Packages which are part of the Emacs distribution cannot be updated
    that way.

This is probably better. As long as we understand it to read "packages
which are part ... and were never upgraded to a version from ELPA".

Anyway, if we agree to keep this unfixed, we should probably add this
text somewhere: either into the docstring anyway, or to etc/PROBLEMS.

Do we agree to leave package-update unchanged?

Apparently so.

And what about the renaming you suggested in another bug report?

Still waiting for your go-ahead. Although it sounds like I have it.

I'd like to make a new pretest soon, with all these issues finalized
as best as we can.

Very good.

As for PROBLEMS, I'm not sure.  We usually put there only something
that people actually complain about, not proactively.  How about
mentioning this in the doc string instead?

Sure. Hopefully it won't create an impression that the described behavior is _intended_.
