Doing so. Thanks.

Well I pr
Package a2ps places a pair of precompiled *.elc files (distributed
with the package) into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, instead of using
the emacsen-common framework to compile them. Is this a bug? I think

I think that for add-on lisp packages for emacs, there should be an
install-time option (debconf would be the obvious way to go here) to
