I like the way is done in w3: all the commands necessary to (auto)load
the package are included in a new file, say w3-init.el, which is put
in the site-lisp directory. Than, a single line "entry" is put in
/etc/site-start.el. Something like:

(load "/usr/lib/emacs/site-list/w3-init" t nil nil)

Note that the optional arguments ensure that no error will be signaled
if the file does not exist.

The deinstallation can be done with a simple "grep -v" command.

Just my $0.02.

Ciao, Emilio.
