This first option of a combined org+contrib package in a non-GNU ELPA*
does sound like the easiest to implement and most likely to succeed (for
the reasons Achim mentions above).  Is there a downside to such a
combined package which I am missing?

Perhaps such a package could be called org-w-contrib or more simply
org-contrib.

Confirmed, when specifying a dependency you are only allowed to give the
name and the minimum version number.  Which server the package is
downloaded from is undefined.

Assuming that simply specifying org as a dependency of org-contrib is
insufficient, then I would think that this combined install would be the
way to go.

Best,
