Perhaps you could doctor your load-path early in the init process, so
that /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp comes later, and is shadowed by
emacs/<version>/lisp? On my machine the relevant load-path elements are
ordered as:

/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/site-lisp
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/lisp

If that's the case on your machine as well, perhaps you could remove
emacs/site-lisp, and re-add it at the end of the list. That has the
potential to break other things, though...
