Package: emacsen-common
Version: 1.4.17
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

        Experienced emacs users on the emacs-devel mailing list noted
 that it took an emacs developer over two hours to find the
 site-start.el file in /etc/emacs/site-start.el.

        The full thread can be seen starting from here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/100657

        A suggested solution is to add a symbolic link from 
 $PREFIX/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el to /etc/emacs/site-start.el
 which is a cheap way to let experienced users see where the file has
 been moved to, while still following policy and keeping the editable
 bits in /etc.

        Thanks,

        manoj
