It is.  Python.el's maintainer has worked on the elpa scripts so that
GNU ELPA packages can be built directly from the emacs.git source code.
This way packages like python.el and seq.el which want to be bundled
with Emacs as well as distributed via GNU ELPA can do so without having
to duplicate them between elpa.git and emacs.git.

This is not quite ready yet, but ... any day now.
