Indeed.

Hmm...

This part is on purpose.

The

            --eval "(setq package-directory-list '(\"$(abspath
packages)\"))" \
            --eval '(package-initialize)' \

should add those packages as if they were installed (tho not compiled
yet), so the directories should already be added to the load-path.
