Note that if you can spare the diskspace then you can have the
"make install" phase of the packages Makefile copy the new files to the
package tree. There is no need to make tarballs. The symbolic linking
suggestion has two advantages.

1. It saves diskspace.
2. With the help of VC you actually go the correct file on M-x
   find-function. 

But then again, you probably knew that.
