When preparing the tarball, the (Non)GNU ELPA scripts can be told
whether to use the Commentary or a README file, and AFAIK that's the
info that is then shown by `describe-package`. Currently the ELPA
protocol only offers a plain text version for that info. We should
probably improve this part of the protocol.
