Yes, that's it.  There is simply a auto-load cookie above the
installation Elisp.  This gets copied by package to the auto-load file
and evaluated as part of the final steps of installing the package.  Its
pretty ugly.

I would be really helpful if package could provide some appropriate
hooks, i.e pre-remove, post-install and when ever else it could be
useful.
