It's not apparent from what you quote, but you do know this refers to
only a small number of files in the leim/quail directory, right? The
associated .el files are not even included with an Emacs tarball at
present, because they are generated from various dictionary files at
build time.

I don't know if there is any reason for this besides space-saving, but
it was not considered a problem two years ago:
