Yes, they looked like the sort of thing that you should load yourself.
They won't load if you put them in .emacs.  If this is your system, then
I suggest you get that stuff out of site-start.el: why use what the
Debian project put there? ;) If it's not your system, then I suggest you
tell a sysadmin that site-start.el contains a lot of stuff that ought to
be left up to the user.  However, he might get a lot of requests for
those packages...

If you want behavior like Perl or Python (output to STDOUT), then you
should figure out a way to divert STDERR from inside Emacs.  I tried 

(setq shell-command-default-error-buffer "*stderr*")

but that doesn't affect batch mode.
