Whew, I forgot «shopt -s nullglob», which is quite essential indeed, and
should probably be always on in your shell scripts:
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
### Historic cleanup code
clean_old_cruft () {
    rm -f /usr/share/emacs/$1/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty --parents \
        /usr/share/emacs/$1/site-lisp/mailcrypt/
}
shopt -s nullglob
## Note that /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mailcrypt is _not_ enclosed in the
## following pattern, and it shouldn't be.
for i in /usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/; do
    i=${i#/usr/share/emacs/}
    i=${i%/site-lisp/mailcrypt/}
    test -e /usr/bin/emacs-$i || clean_old_cruft $i
done
