Policy concerning emacs lisp files

[jdg@maths.qmw.ac.uk (Julian Gilbey)]

Is there any standard policy concerning the installing of emacs lisp
files contained in a package?  Having looked in the /usr/share/emacs
and /usr/lib/emacsen-common trees, it seems to me that most packages
install their .el files under /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp and their
compiled .elc files under /usr/share/emacs/$flavor/site-lisp, and the
compilation is controlled by
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/$package.

Am I right?  Is this written down anywhere?  If not, it should be!
