There's no such "consistency" in Emacs. The "consistency" we support
is that the Lisp files are expected to be in the installed tree. If
they are there, I see no reason to look for them in any other
directory, and you didn't provide any real reason. I originally
thought that you want to remove the *.el files from the installation
tree, but now I understand you don't, and I'm therefore completely
baffled about the your feature request.
