Package: vm
Version: 8.0.7-1
Severity: grave
VM is unusable, since no autoloads are set up for it. Here are the
relevant (AFAICT) startup files, all empty:
,----
| (zsh)% ls -l /etc/emacs*/site-start.d/50vm-init.el

Now when I type M-x vm TAB, the only match is vm-rfaddons-infect-vm from
the vm-bonus-el package, which is pretty useless. :-(

This is not really a package bug. The package does not contain
any file called /etc/emacs*/site-start.d/50vm-init.el; instead, it
ships /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-init.el, which is shipped not
empty.
During installation, ucf is called to install the appropriate
/etc/emacs*/site-start.d/ files; and uses debconf to ask whether or
not to replace the file. Now, I have no idea why the init files are
empty right now on your machine, but it is seen by ucf as a user change
which must be preserved unless the user allows the file to be
replaced -- are you using debconf at a high setting, opting not to see
the question?
In any case, there is nothing a change in VM can do to fix this
on your machine; just cp the /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/vm/vm-init.el
if you want your init files to be not empty.
