<pkg>-version.el is an ad-hoc file that org uses, but <pkg>-pkg.el is
a standard way for package.el to specify the package definition
(there's already code for it, Elpa just doesn't use it yet).

I don't understand. What code are you referring to?
AFAICT, org already generates a perfectly compliant -pkg file, no? So
no code would have to change for org.
