 Not quite. The problem is that package needs to opt in to use
 `composer/installers` or otherwise Composer will not allow user to choose
 where core (used as dependency) goes and it will mandatory go into
 `vendor` dir, which does not quite fit WP core.

 I've opened issue about adding custom type for core
 https://github.com/composer/installers/issues/77 but as above - this is
 probably conversation for another ticket and another WP release since this
 is not making it into 3.6
