/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50a2ps.el changed:

;; Emacs startup file for the Debian a2ps package
;;
;; Originally contributed by Nils Naumann <[email protected]>
;; Modified by Dirk Eddelbuettel <[email protected]>
;; Adapted for dh-make by Jim Van Zandt <[email protected]>
;; The a2ps package follows the Debian/GNU Linux 'emacsen' policy and
;; byte-compiles its elisp files for each 'emacs flavor' (emacs19,
;; xemacs19, emacs20, xemacs20...). The compiled code is then
;; installed in a subdirectory of the respective site-lisp directory.
