I assume this is still a problem in stable (stretch, Debian 9) through
sid?  The Debian Emacsen team has adopted emacs-goodies-el and is the
process of transitioning from bundled .els to elpafied packages.
Buggy addons with dead upstreams are being dropped.  It would be nice
to transition from a buggy dropped addons to ones that provide similar
functionality.

Do the built-in 'find-dired or 'find-name-dired provide the desired
interface and functionality of 'ff-path, or would the following be an
adequate substitute?

Thanks,
Nicholas
