Well, if you install your own shared library and your own programs for using it, you'll also make sure to pass the right -R args. Hm. OTOH, there are a lot of files under /etc where removing them or altering them in bad ways would cause the corresponding application to malfunction. In that way, frobbing load-path from /etc/site-start.d/* is not different. But the situation that Emacs stops working after "dpkg --purge gnus", say, MUST be changed. -- This line is not blank.
