Well, I guess I could install it manually instead but at least for
/some/ packages I'd like to use the package system.

That's ugly. (c;

That's probably the way I'll settle with.  Thanks for the suggestions.

I think it would be nice if the doxymacs package would not be
activated by default or at least give an administrator the possibility
to choose during installation if it should be activated.  The way it
is handled now can lead to bugs less obvious than what I had to deal
with.

Another option not on package level but upstream would be to craft
doxymacs in a way that requiring 'doxymacs does not pull in a whole
bunch of dependencies.  That would also eliminate potential problems
of requiring 'doxymacs in a user init file before `load-patch' is set
correctly.
