As I mentionned earlier, I think I have done something sensible with the emacs-goodies-el source package (binary packages emacs-goodies-el, debian-el, gnus-bonus-el, devscripts-el, vm-bonus-el, dpkg-dev-el), so that's a starting point to quickly look at. It doesn't seem to be responsible for any nasty shadows. The source files go in e.g. /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/. This is typical. That directory isn't added to the load-path. That isn't typical. The byte-compiled files go in e.g. /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/ and that is added to the load-path. That is typical. The source elisp files are symlinked into the byte-compiled directory of each flavour. That is not typical. This has the advantage that source and byte-compiled files are in the same directory, and I can include in the load-path only files that are compatible with each flavour. I will likely change my other Emacs-related packages to do the same (if they don't already, I'm not sure). This would include mh-e and gri-el. That is, unless we come up with something better.
