Or, if you want to know how compilation when installing packages works:
see `package-unpack' which calls `package--compile'.  That function
compiles all ELisp files including those in subdirectories (using
`byte-recompile-directory') minus those matching one of the patterns
specified in the packages ".elpaignore" file when it exists.
