Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 30.7-1
Severity: important

Upgrading today "apt-get install emacs-goodies-el" got an error during
the setup phase,

Setting up emacs-goodies-el (30.7-1) ...
install/emacs-goodies-el: Handling emacs21, logged in /tmp/elc_Lx5cqt.log

leaving the log file with,

emacs21 -batch --no-site-file --multibyte --eval (setq load-path (cons "." 
load-path)) -l autoload --eval (setq generated-autoload-file (expand-file-name 
"emacs-goodies-loaddefs.el")) --eval (setq make-backup-files nil) -f 
batch-update-autoloads .
Autoloads file 
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/emacs-goodies-loaddefs.el does 
not exist


Generating autoloads per-flavour seems like a good idea, but something
has gone astry has it?

(For what it's worth for some of my own stuff I ended up writing a few
lines of lisp calling `generate-file-autoloads' on each file, rather
than `batch-update-autoloads'.  I forget exactly what I didn't like
about the batch update, it might have been only I wanted a header
comment and maybe a footer with a `provide'.)
