Elpa twice in load-path

Elpa twice in load-path

[Rene]

The way elpa works, it automatically adds packages to `load-path'.  There is
therefore no need to have such a line

  (add-to-list 'load-path (or (file-name-directory #$) (car load-path)))

in the `package-autoloads.el" file.

Besides, having such a line leads to adding twice the same directory to
`load-path', a normal one and one with a trailing `/'.  In the case of the
org package:

  "/home/dir/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130610"
  "/home/dir/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130610/"

Line 4 of `org-autoloads.el" in org/elpa package.

Since this file is created by package manager this is probably how it
adds Org to the load path, don't you think?

What I notice is that for elpa packages that don't hold such a line in their
`package-autoloads.el', the package path only appears once in `load-path',
which is the right behavior.

Can you suggest a fix, if needed?
