The case I know of where the .elc and .el are not next to each other is to place the byte-compiled files in a directory specific to the Emacs version used to compile. This is used in Debian so as to be able to have Elisp packages and byte-compiled for many different (X)Emacs versions. I haven't looked at how Debian packages manage to place the compiled files at the right place, tho.

FWIW, I answer also on stack-foo, and I like the fact that answers can be edited/fixed: it's a bit halfway between a forum and wiki, which has its advantages. I do thoroughly dislike the centralized aspect of it, tho.
