Then create one. It doesn't need to hold anything else than the usual header.
[ Tho, in NonGNU ELPA we work around this currently by telling to use
`helm.el` instead. ]
IOW I suggest the patch below (which also fixes some inconsistencies
between the info in `helm.el` and in `helm-pkg.el`).
BTW, is "Development files for Helm" really a good description?
To me it would indicate that it's a package with a similar role to
Debian's <foo>-dev packages, i.e. a package only needed if you're
developing code for Helm, rather than if you merely use the Helm tools.
