AFAICT what package-suppress is designed to do is to prevent autoloads
of core libraries from being overwritten by the package version, and
that's all.  So in a freshly executed XEmacs 21.5, you should see that
regexp-opt autoloads refer to the core version of regexp-opt.

What would you expect to see?

I guess we'd also want (require 'regexp-opt) to find the core version
if the package is suppressed?  I'm not sure that that is correct
though; the package version should presumably be used when explicitly
requiring from another package.
