It would not make much sense. The directories are shipped in the
emacs22-common package, any package that removes them has a critical bug
that should not be hidden. The only question is: what package could it
be? You've upgraded many packages in that run, most of them were
unpacked after emacs22-common and none of them seems to have any
relation to Emacs. So I'm really clueless now.

Quick and dirty: mkdir -p /etc/emacs22/site-start.d
Slower but safer: aptitude reinstall emacs22-common
I see that you are using etckeeper; do you have some history of the
/etc/emacs22 directory?
