So my proposal is to clone the repositories below ~/.emacs.d/elpa/,
and thus solve the problem of linking/copying of files from the
repository to .emacs.d (and several others, which you and Stefan for
some reason don't consider important enough).

And with that, let me bow out of this, since I think you understand
well enough what I proposed and can make your own decisions.
