The approach used in Debian is that the Debian “binary” packages
contain only the source code (.el), and the respective
byte-compiled (.elc) files are produced at the installation
time, – for /each/ of the installed Emacs versions.
So, when, say, gnugo.el is installed, in addition to
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnugo.el, the following files may
also appear on the filesystem (depending on the versions of
Emacs installed on the system):
/usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/gnugo.elc
/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/gnugo.elc
/usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/gnugo.elc
…
I’m not sure whether Emacs itself handles it well when it comes
to, say, C-h f. And frankly, for backup purposes, I’d rather
prefer all that to go under /var/cache instead. (And the same
for __pycache__, etc.)
