Oops, I spoke too soon.  I created the org-21991231 folder where all the
other emacs packages are installed, added org-pkg.el with the line you
suggested, and byte-compiled to org-pkg.elc.

However, the package manager doesn't (yet) recognize this package and
when I download ob-* packages, org-2015* is also downloaded.

Also, org-21991231 doesn't show up in the package manager.

Is there a registration step?

All the best,
Tom
