You can put the tarball anywhere you like. People can then install it via M-x package-install-file, which will byte-compile it, setup autoloads, and put it under ~/.emacs.d/elpa along with any accompanying files, so you should be able to find those .tex auxiliary files at run-time without any difficulty.
