Actually I'd like to make dh-elpa handle `load-path' of its package
installation directory (by default it's
`/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/foo') the same as how package.el
handles any ELPA package, a.k.a. only add the installation path to
`load-path' but not its subdirectories recursively.  Hopefully with your
pointer I can figure this out, which make take a while.  The byte
compilation of subdirectories is not really important as long as I can
make `load-path' sane, AIUI.
