Sorry, I could've been more explicit :-) This bug report can be closed.
As you noted, it's intended behavior, and the correct way to do it is
already discussed in the manual.

The only improvement / follow-up I can see would be a note about
`*-pkg.el` files being 'reserved', but I'll leave that to a normal patch
submission.

Thanks for your help :-)
