Thanks, but I think the current master code made your code redundant
when the following patch was installed:

    commit 1fc9de4b81ceacabef6aafe48ecaabaf76f34bb2
    Author: Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
    Date:   Fri Oct 30 19:20:24 2020 -0700
    
        Improve reproducibility of generated -pkg.el files
        
        * lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package-generate-description-file):
        Don't include the full name of the source file in the header,
        since that varies non-reproducibly according to the build directory.
        https://bugs.debian.org/972861
        Note that elpa.gnu.org's admin/archive-contents.el does this by hand
        and already only includes the nondirectory part.
