Look for any messages about erc-compat.el in

Fink's (i.e., debian's) emas package policy has example install script
for %p/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/%n that does:
# Copy the temp .el files
(cd ${el_dir} && cp ${el_files} ${elc_dir})
# Byte compile them
(cd ${elc_dir} \
&& ${FLAVOR} ${byte_compile_options} ${el_files} 2> /dev/null)
# remove the redundant .el files
# presumes that any .el files in the <flavor> dir are trash.
rm ${elc_dir}/*.el
so it's pretty clear that .el can (and maybe should) be removed after
they are compiled if they are compiled.

Seconded.
