Can you describe how does the XEmacs-package-building relates to the VCS repository? Is it that the CVS layout was chosen specifically to match the XEmacs package requirements? Are those requirements incompatible with the ones for ELPA packages? > So it is not clear to me who the customers for the XEmacs packages we > compile actually are.

If a file is in `elpa/packages/auctex' then it will be in the ELPA package (which is little more than a tarball of that directory). But I don't see why including prv-xemacs.el in the ELPA package would be a problem. It's arguably wasteful, but I doubt anybody cares. This said, we could tweak the GNU ELPA build scripts so that some files are removed from the tarball.
