Uday> The document doesn't seem to mention where the package will be

This particular documentation is just for package authors.
Customizations would be described in the user documentation instead.
Uday> Does package.el handle only elisp files or other kinds of files as
Uday> well? Where will the other files be installed?
Yes, anything in the appropriate directory in the .tar is unpacked.
You can ship anything you like in your package -- some existing packages ship
data files that they need.
Perhaps the docs should mention that elisp installed this way ought to
be location-independent.
