I re-encourage you to read the latest version of the manual, which
explains that it is the presence of a subdirs.el file that causes
subdirectories to be added.
That file should be created during installation, but Debian (from which
Ubuntu inherits) appears to make it more complicated, prefering to have
/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp with subdirs.el and
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp without (AFAICS). You'd have to take that up
with them.
