Package: emacs21-common
Version: 21.2-5
Severity: normal

This:
                                        
  emacs -batch -l /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/cus-dep.elc -f 
custom-make-dependencies .

run in the latest CVS gnus lisp/ directory fails with:

  Wrong type argument: stringp, (mm-inline-text-html-with-images 
custom-variable)

I've traced the problem to
                    
  ;; So x and no-x builds won't differ.
  (setq members (sort members 'string<))

in custom-make-dependencies from cus-dep.el.

According to comments in README.Debian.gz:

  Sort the custom-group entries in cus-dep before generating
  custom-loads so the output doesn't differ from run-to-run.

so perhaps this is Debian-specific?
