Strange, /etc/emacs22/site-start.d is supposed to be a directory and is
shipped in emacs22-common (on which emacs22 indirectly depends).

As I said above, /etc/emacs22 is shipped in emacs22-common, and this ...

... indicates that emacs22-common must be correctly installed, since
emacs22-bin-common depends on it. So how can the directory be missing?
Can you please send the aptitude and dpkg logs of the failed install?
And what does `dpkg -S /etc/emacs22' print?
