Yes. Now we are on the same page.

If you don't have a top level package, "load-package-in" has an
advantage of over "install-sub-package": install-sub-package forces
you to have a top level package even if it is just an empty directory
(and probably a symbolic "active" link to that directory unless you
are careful to save and restore the option). The only other reason I
can think of to choose one over the other might be an ordering issue,
for example if the top level package depends on its child to be
compiled for bootstrapping or something like that.

I'll play with both choices for a bit.
