I did a similar thing some time ago. It seems that I did get away
even without obsolete.g. However, I packaged 
  bin/gap.sh
and
  sysinfo.gap
and all files "PackageInfo.g" in all the package directories.
I believe that sysinfo.gap will be necessary but forgot why.
Note that the online help will not work without the documentation text
files.

Best regards,
  Max.
