What is supposed to happen is that the package directory is added just
after the entry in 'runtimepath' where it that package was found.

For example, the 'rtp' starts as:
~/.vim,/usr/lib/vim/vim74/runtime,~/.vim/after

And when finding the matchit plugin it becomes:
~/.vim,/usr/lib/vim/vim74/runtime,/usr/lib/vim/vim74/runtime/pack/dist/opt/matchit,~/.vim/after

Or when finding a package under ~/.vim:
~/.vim,~/.vim/pack/my/start/demo,/usr/lib/vim/vim74/runtime,~/.vim/after


Can you give a small example of what you are doing and what you see
happens?
