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.
