1. plus-one-and-bump 2. FWIW, I opened bug/RFE #1099027 today to cover the same issue in dictionaries-common.
@Michael, I guess something similar probably would be necessary for file (from your example output) /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50latex-cjk-common.el loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/latex-cjk-common/cjk-enc.el. 3. If the maintainers of emacsen-common agree that the load messages should be better switched off, probably a notice in /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz would help other package maintainers. Like this: 10) Use of load in site-start.d and dependent files If a plain (load "some-package") is actually required for one reason or other, you should use in fact something along the lines of (load "some-package" nil t) That helps keeping the message noise down, in particular during Emacs batch runs. See als bug #979982. Should a user really need the load messages, most notably for debugging purposes, she can set force-load-messages to a non-nil value in her early initialization file.
