Well, I figured that once we felt that the new document had
stabilized, it would either become pard of the Policy Manual, or there
would be a pointer to it as an external file. It think this
particular bit should be subsumed by a section in the new document
detailing this issue.
Something like:
Packages with only marginal emacs relevance
-------------------------------------------
Generally, if a normal package just contains some emacs helper files,
and does not need to perform any byte-compilation or other emacs
dependent activities upon installation (for performance or other
reasons), then it is not necessary to specify a dependency on emacsen
or any flavor of emacs, and the package may just include files located
in the standard emacs add-on directories:
/etc/<emacs>/site-start.d
/usr/share/<emacs>/site-lisp
