You mean "if we assume that dynload modules will be installed via apt/yum
rather than via package.el"?
Indeed, I expect that this will end up being fairly common (since even
if you already have a C compiler installed, it's likely you'll need to
have to install some libfoo-dev package to get the module to compile).

But I think that the case of non-developers installing via package.el
should be considered important as well. We probably won't be able to
provide as smooth a solution for them as `apt-get` or `yum`, but they
deserve some efforts on our part.
