Is it really needed?  AFAIU this is needed only for some development
things in "feature" subdir (Cask maybe, dunno).  If you add it to
compile "features/support/env.el", then it wasn't compiled anyway.

My understanding for emacs packages is that we try to prepare a user
package (what (M)ELPA does), and we don't care about various additional
cask, maintainer, development stuff.  WDYT?
