This is a great suggestion! As I'm already loading org, I follow
a similar approach. I installed the following file (with an updated
copyright ;-))

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;;; org.el --- Dummy org mode package

;; Copyright (C) 2014 Alan Schmitt

;; Version: 30000101

()

;;; org.el ends here
#+end_src

Thanks,

Alan
