Good idea, too.

Probably.  But the only .el-s I see are version.el and paths.el.  Can
they simply be stripped?

But it is dubious whether the current behaviour is broken at all -- at
least regarding preloaded packages and load-history.  What we have now
(preloaded packages missing from load-history) definitely matches what
GNU Emacs does.  I don't know /why/ it does it, though.
