Yes, and if they are properly written, they will tell the user to put
the files into directories where his system searches for them and ideally
contain a reference to the TDS document and to the local documentation.

The TDS has changed a year ago and if we keep the paths compatible to the
old locations (for another year, we already have done this in TL 2003),
people will not adopt to it. And we will have more and more people who
have trouble with wrong files found, because the search paths are set
up to look at various places.

Ok, this is a direct consequence from the TDS change. It is a pity that
there is no common installation procedure for all systems in an abstract
way. Packages that contain a TDS structure lack an abstraction level.

slido-tds-0.9995.tgz and slido-tds-1.0.tgz, maybe? Or, like Walter has
done it with CTAN:macros/latex/required/psnfss: he has unboundled the
map files from his zip's.
