There are a few possible levels this could go.
But yes, the basic idea is that these bundled packages would be pulled
from Gelpa into some subdir of emacs/lisp when making the tarball and
autoloading/byte-compilation would be done. So they'd be available like
any other built-in package.
The advantage over just keeping the packages there in the first place is
that packages offered on GElpa can be updated more frequently.
A second level would be to do this in such a way that allows Emacs
packages to depend on these pulled-in Gelpa packages. This would require
changes to the build process, not just the tarball.

I think I asked about this a couple of months ago, and Stefan (?) wrote
a very nice explanation of what his thoughts were on this possible
future.
