Does ~/.emacs.d dir gets used in your config?

I'm not sure if ~/.emacs.d gets sourced during init (or created if it does not exist).

Many dotfiles get created in this dir by default, do these get created in ~/.emacs.d/ or in the 'emac-d' var defined dir?

No, it's not necessary for any Elisp files. But some package do store their files there: bbdb, bookmarks, projectile.cache, recentf, smex-items, .mc-lists.el etc.

The idea is to clone the config in some directory, and connect it only via ~/.emacs

;; (package-initialize)
(load "~/Dropbox/source/site-lisp/init.el")

This means that this will work as well, since the directory location no longer matters:

emacs -Q -l init.el
