Incidentally, while on the issue of debian emacs startup, I have the following snippet in my .emacs file for hooking my non-debian emacs into the debian emacs package system:
;; Debian stuff (unless (boundp 'debian-emacs-flavor) (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup") (debian-startup 'emacs22) (debian-startup 'emacs22)) ["emacs22" because there is no emacs23 in debian yet] It does appear to work (I can even use complicated packages like ecb installed via aptitude), but is obviously slightly odd; is there a better way than this? AFAICT, the multiple calls to `debian-startup' are necessary -- it doesn't work with just one -- which is one of the weird things nobody seemed to understand when I asked about it a few years about on debian-emacsen....
