That's a good question:
package-user-dir is a variable defined in `package.el'.
Its value is "~/.emacs.d/elpa"
This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
Documentation:
Directory containing the user's Emacs Lisp packages.
The directory name should be absolute.
Apart from this directory, Emacs also looks for system-wide
packages in `package-directory-list'.
