That's interesting, a quick perusal of the package.el source that comes
with my copy of Emacs turns up this:
;; The downloader downloads all dependent packages. By default,

Which seems to jibe with what I remember from lurking on emacs-devel.
Interestingly enough one of the GNU ELPA packages is load-dir which
should also help make loading random packages easier.
