No it is not :-)  I think you miss-understood my point.

You said that we should put emacs packages into subdirectories, and I
agree with this, but instead of the current:

  ".../site-lisp/guix.d/PACKAGE-NAME-VERSION/"

I suggest to use:

  ".../site-lisp/PACKAGE-NAME-VERSION/"

i.e., to remove "guix.d".
