I think what we want in Debian is no native compilation when installing
Emacs. There is really no benefit for most people to caching the eln
files in ~root, and there are possible bad effects as demonstrated by
this bug.
Attached is a proposed patch to emacsen-common. I'll reassign this bug
there for now.
