You need at least 2 install locations: one for user-installed packages
and one for admin-installed packages (the "site-lisp" mentioned above).

This is not part of an install, it's a separate step (a "configuration"
step). Consider the case where the package is installed in site-lisp,
where it needs to work for all users.
"packaging Gnus" is only supposed to solve the problem of replacing
a version of Gnus with another independently from the version of Emacs
you use.

I don't think it needs to be external to Gnus. You're basically asking
for a Gnus wizard, I think.
