My question was about the second path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"
which is "for locally installed packages meant for use with all
installed Emacs versions."

Let me elaborate on my question. I want to provide users with an easy
"make install" what would put my package into a dirrectory where *all*
version of emacs present on the machine can see. 

The manual says that directory is "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"
which is not true because sub directories of that directory are not
expanded. Nor the subdirectories of "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" are
expanded.
