Yes and no: you can set `package-load-list` and `package-user-dir` in
your .emacs (and/or via customize) in order to affect the place where
packages are later installed and also in order to affect a subsequent
manual package-activate-all.
Currently, this requires setting (setq package-alist nil) by hand to
force reloading the package descriptors, but my hope is that we can
improve this in the future (e.g. with a :setter placed on those vars so
that package-activate-all is called again when they're modified via
custom).
Also, a "late-setting" of `package-load-list` (e.g. when set via
customize) will still work if you use `package-quickstart`.

The patch looks OK to me,
Stefan
