I wonder about quoting here. I tend to overquote in shell scripts, but
what if some subdirectory has whitespace in the name?

I think it's better to use find -delete here?

In theory, I think an addon package could ship subdirs.el. In practice
this doesn't seem to happen much (at least I did not find any examples
cases). How should we handle this? Add a check? Ignore the possibility?
Does the emacs packaging documentation have anything to say about this?
