Just zap it and you should be fine. You mean: "When installing packages, do that in /xemacs/lib/<spec>-packages instead of /xemacs/lib/packages/<spec>-packages" or do you mean: "pui folks, please modify the code ?" If you intend the former, then the documentation has to be updated (I think that where exactly packages will be located is only mentioned in README.packages, which I BTW think is an omission in the info-documentation).
