There is indeed something new landed in recent versions.

https://elv.sh/ref/command.html#module-search-directories
It now supports searching global modules in /usr/share/elvish/lib.
However as the directory name shows, it's not meant for autocompletion scripts.

After discussion  with upstream, I think it's better to keep the
status quo. We can see if a more sensible place that upstream will use
in next debian release cycle.
