of the package, if it's maintained externally.
- A "News:" section (or "NEWS" file) can/should be used to list the
user-visible changes of each version.
-- The "Package-Type: simple" header can be used to force the creation
- of a single-file package even when there are several Elisp files in
- the source (the other files will simply be ignored).
+- The "Package-Type:" header can be used to force the type of package
+ created (can be either `simple' for single-file packages or `multi' for
+ tarballs). By default the type is decided based on whether there are
+ several Elisp files in the source (the other files will simply be
+ ignored).
+- If you want some files to not be included in the tarball, you can
+ put a `.elpaignore' file in the root of your package directory, where you
+ can list patterns of files to ignore (this file is passed to tar's -X).
