Is nil the same as "." as far as load-path is concerned? I'd be tempted to simply delete nil entries from the load-path prior to debian-pkg-load-path-item calls, or replacing them by "." if that is equivalent. Alternatively, if there' a nil entry then use a simple add-to-list call instead of debian-pkg-load-path-item. Peter
