Hello,

I was reading the section on "Libraries of Lisp Code for Emacs" (section 28.8) in the Emacs manual, and I encountered a passage that seems a bit unclear. The text suggests that when using package-install, Emacs might automatically add initialization code to the init.el file, which doesn’t seem to match my experience.

Specifically, the manual states: "Installing a package using package-install takes care of placing the package’s Lisp files in a directory where Emacs will find it, and also writes the necessary initialization code into your init files [...]"

From my understanding, package-install does not modify init.el directly, which is how I interpret the documentation above. Instead, Emacs calls package-initialize which makes the installed packages available, automatically.

I want to check if this is a valid concern / interpretation that warrants a documentation change. If so, I'll be happy to create a patch.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Krystian
