Right, the format used by the ELPA protocol.

Here you mean "the GNU ELPA archive" (which I often like to call
`elpa.git` when talking about the files that need to be
installed/maintained by the package maintainer) since "ELPA" is just
a protocol.
Please keep those two distinct, especially in this conversation which is
largely due to a confusion between those two.
