Have you tried specifying the manual's source .org/.texi file as the
package :doc property?

Although I don't know whether :core packages support that yet, or
whether elpa.git can even build .texi/.org manuals from emacs.git (see,
for example, the commented-out entry in elpa-packages for cc-mode).

Stefan (CCed) will be more familiar with the limitations.
