As long as the code is not in `elpa.git`, it's up to you to decide
whether to perform such rewrites.  Once it's in `elpa.git` such rewrites
should be avoided at (almost) all cost.

It sounds like a lot of work and could lead to trouble for other people
who're tracking your repository, so I probably wouldn't do it if I were you.
