Do you mean that `package-install` won't work because the package is
already installed? Hmm... yeah, that'd be a problem.
I can see several ways to "fix" this, but I think the simplest would be

;; Maintainer: Amin Bandali <[email protected]>, F. Jason Park <[email protected]>
into
;; Maintainer: [email protected]
Would that be a problem?
