This feature request (if I understand it correctly) is about adding more
packages to the Emacs tree -- but we don't really do that for packages
like this that are already in some ELPA or other.  (But with the
gnu-elpa package, Emacs will offer to load packages automatically, which
may help.)

The other part of the request (warn about unused modules) etc are
somewhat vague, and probably won't lead to any progress by having open
in the Emacs issue tracker, so I'm closing this feature request.
