You can put the packages in the image directory if you're using the 
default image in (/usr/local)/var/lib/smalltalk.

If not, something like the attached would work though.  The directory 
would be /usr/(local/)share/smalltalk/site-packages.  You can group the 
code into a .star file, or use a 
/usr/(local/)share/smalltalk/site-packages/packages.xml file.

Anybody else, any interest in having this patch in 3.2.1?  It's small 
and harmless enough.

Thanks,

Paolo
