What is "a package shipped with Emacs", if it does not mean "a part of Emacs"? Is there such a thing? What does "shipped with" mean here?
eglot is currently distributed via GNU ELPA, so it itself is one 'M-x package-install' away.
Anyway, the general idea of package installation in the GNU/Linux distros I know about is that the_user_ decides when to install a package. One package (such as Emacs) has no business trying to install another package.
I think this conundrum is easily solved with a yes/no prompt.
