On my system, not counting blank lines and comments:

    $ grep -c '^[^;]' /etc/emacs/site-start.d/*
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el:26
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50autoconf.el:12
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el:22
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev-el.el:13
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50lilypond-data.el:3
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50psvn.el:1
    /etc/emacs/site-start.d/51debian-el.el:14

So you want a separate binary package in order to avoid just 1 line of
elisp executed at startup, compared to 90 lines of elisp from other
packages?  And that 1 line just calls (autoload) once, which is
certainly not an expensive function.

I bet if you run emacs with and without 50psvn.el in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d, you will not notice a difference in startup
time.  On my system, M-: (emacs-init-time) says "0.1 seconds", and
that's for everything, including my ~/.emacs, which does quite a bit
more than most of the files in /etc/emacs/site-start.d anyway.
