Hi, After a incorporating a few modifications suggested by people on the list, and testing most of the code paths, here is a new version of the script and manual page. I have only lightly tested the historical md5sum directory, but the code is fairly straight forward, and I do not anticipate any problems.
Since it is too late to modify dpkg (freeze), I am going to package this script up, and make my smacsen packages depend on the resulting package, and start preserving user changes in emacsen site-start.d files. manoj
