Thanks for the heads-up. Grep'ing in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ on my system, I see (debian-pkg-add-load-path-item (concat "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess")) instead of (setq load-path (cons (concat "/usr/share/" (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "/site-lisp/ess") load-path )) as a possible change. Would that work? Or should it be like css-mode and do both: (debian-pkg-add-load-path-item "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess") (debian-pkg-add-load-path-item (concat "/usr/share/" (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "/site-lisp/ess")) Can you advise? I actually don't really write elisp...
