Thank you for doing that. > Imagine my surprise when *even with -Q*, a number of libraries are > shadowed (see attached transcript). Why are third-party libraries > being added to the load path when -Q is specified? Because of the subdirs.el that is installed by the upstream Makefile under /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp. Since Debian packages are supposed to add their lisp directories explicitly to load-path via debian-pkg-add-load-path-item, it might make sense to remove this file from the emacs23 package. Would you like to test which packages break when you move /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/subdirs.el out of the way? Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
