It's not that simple, depending of course on exactly what one wants to
support. For example, many distributions patch the above to
$prefix/share/xemacs/[...].
The XEmacs 21.4.18 provided by Debian e.g. is configured like this
(output from `report-xemacs-bug'):
./configure '--with-sound=none,native' '--with-x11'
'--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-database=berkdb'
'--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs21'
'--infopath=/usr/share/info/xemacs21' '--prefix=/usr' '--dynamic'
'--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--with-pop'
'--with-file-coding' '--pdump' '--with-system-malloc'
'--with_menubars=lucid' '--with_scrollbars=lucid'
'--with_dialogs=athena'
'--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.18/i386-debian-linux/mule/' '--with-mule'
'--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-xim=xlib'
'--with-xfs'
'--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages::/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/mule-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages'
'i386-debian-linux'
So the package hierarchies could be anywhere depending on the value
supplied to --package-path.
