We don't trust the packages enough to run their code on elpa.gnu.org, so
we don't "make" while building the package.  Hence tex-site.el is
tracked (and you should manually "make" and commit the result before a new
release).

Fine by me,

add-to-list doesn't work on lexical variables.

Not so: (cl-)pushnew looks at the whole list as well.

I don't have much opinion on this function in general, since I don't
use it.  All I care about is to not re-introduce the
add-to-list abomination (it's fine for use in a user's ~/.emacs to add
some element to a global variable, but definitely not when operating on
a let-bound variable).

BTW, I've just changed the cron script so that it only creates a new
package when the "version" is changed.  As long as the "version" is not
modified, the script assumes you're still working on the next release
and the changes are not good enough to be release in the GNU ELPA archive.

I also added a packages/README file that tries to explain it.

Yes, a nightly cron job.  So you probably want to either fix it quickly,
or revert the changes temporarily, work on a separate branch and merge
the result when it's stable.
