Yes, that is quite a distinct and useful conception, and not at all isomorphic
to what casual users construe "packaging" to mean.  My apologies.  "Package"
*qua* "git repo" is a straight- (and also borg-) specific notion that the
control freaks among us (and what card-carrying emacser is not?) swear by.

Aye, one of the great pleasures of running emacs directly out of the git repo
via "src/emacs" (as opposed to the emacs produced from `make install`) is
xref-find-definitions (M-.) NOT jumping to an .el.gz file (people who
immediately appreciate this sentiment, and *only* those people, will know what
I'm talking about).
