I'm re-copying your entire reply because I put a bogus list name on my first mail to you (which meant that debian-emacsen wasn't included).

I guess it would be less confusing. I'm wondering if there would be any drawback, though. Maybe packages accidentally putting files in 20.X/site-lisp rather than emacs20/site-lisp, though I guess that would just be a bug in the packages similar to the one we already have. Anyone else have a reason to prefer one of these solutions over the other? Thanks -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
