I don't think this belongs in "writing addons" because this is mostly about importing and customizing dependencies which can either be done in the app via ember-cli-build.js or in the addon via index.js. How exactly it should be organized probably deserves further discussion on discord. There is a discussion about this on Discord here: https://discordapp.com/channels/480462759797063690/480777444203429888/499943437626507274
