That is a good change to make.  For parts of Emacs to put advice on
functions in Emacs is asking for confusion in future debugging,
because there is no clue in the advised functions that advice might be
on them.

With this change, the use of the variable `insert-directory-program'
will show people that they should check that variable's value to see
what is really going on!
