The location might be OK, but I don't see how that text responds to the
bug report.  I don't see how it "tell[s] users the effect of using the
package system on `load-path'."  It doesn't "mention what using the
package system has as effects [on `load-path']."  It doesn't even
mention variable `load-path'.  Does it have no effect on `load-path'?
Does it alter `load-path' (how)?
