Bug#1088086: dh-elpa: ert_selectors not taking effect

[Xiyue Deng <manphiz@gmail.com>]

Package: dh-elpa
Version: 2.1.5
Severity: normal

I have added support of `ert_selectors' to dh-elpa hoping to avoid
having to use a separate ert-helper script to make things easier, but
the implementation was incorrect as it's using an extension supported by
flycheck-run-tests-batch but not ERT.

I'm thinking about two ways forward:

1. Fix the ert_selectors usage to construct the S-exp correctly.  The
proposed fix is pushed to a separate branch and the diff can be found at
[1].  Note that this fix does not require an archive rebuild.

2. Drop support for ert_selectors.  I would like to see if people think
this optional is unnecessary and would prefer to use an ert-helper
script for complex use cases anyway.

I would prefer option 1, but would like to gather more people's opinions
about this before moving forward.
