Yes, you can add something like ;;;###autoload (require 'ess-site) to debian/debian-autoloads.el It's questionable whether some of the other autoloads (e.g. for R-mode) are useful in that case since they just provide lazy loading of ess-site. The other alternative would be to add of the following to debian/debian-autoloads.el ;;;###autoload (autoload 'foo "ess-site" "Run foo" t) The advantage of the second approach is that you won't be loading ess for every user and every emacs session. On the other hand, there may be some entry points not covered. Some packages need a startup file like ess-site explicitely loaded; my experience was that at least simple things like "emacs foo.R" In the long run, those ;;;###autoload cookies should probably be added upstream so that non-debian users could use them. So you might prefer just to patch them in to ess-foo.el and send the patches upstream. The emacs package process will collect them all and run them at package initialization time.
