Package: emacs-snapshot
Version: 1:20070122-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source

I was mucking around applying the emacs-snapshot diff.gz to the
unicode-2 branch when I got this error.  This bug may not actually
manifest in a clean emacs-snapshot, but I think it does.  I'm
reporting it now in case I don't get around to verifying it myself.

In debian/rules, there is a stanza

    define check_pure_space
            src/emacs -batch --eval "(print pure-space-overflow)" 2>/dev/null \
            | grep -qx nil
    endef

This should read

    define check_pure_space
            src/emacs -batch -q -no-site-file --eval "(print 
pure-space-overflow)" 2>/dev/null \
            | grep -qx nil
    endef

Otherwise, src/emacs will try to read
/etc/emacs-snapshot/site-start.d, which does not exist (unless an
earlier version of emacs-snapshot is installed).
