Thanks. I've added async as subtree package, as explained. When
compiling, I get the following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/elpa> make
Generating autoloads for packages/async/async-autoloads.el
Missing ‘version’ header
GNUmakefile:132: recipe for target 'packages/async/async-autoloads.el' failed
make: *** [packages/async/async-autoloads.el] Error 255
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The async package has an own async-pkg.el. But this doesn't seem to be
taken into account; instead a ;;; Version: header in async.el seems to
be needed. I could fix it, but I don't want to touch the inherited
files. What else could I do?

Best regards, Michael.
