The problem here is not the emacsen packages, they don't put anything in these site-start dirs. The problem is other packages that includes elisp files. The command "dpkg -L dpkg-dev | grep etc.*emacs/site" yields the following output on my (fairly recent hamm) system: /etc/emacs/site-start.d /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev.el /etc/xemacs/site-start-19.d /etc/xemacs/site-start-19.d/50dpkg-dev.el Thus this package fails to put the file in /etc/xemacs/site-start-20.d That is probably a bug in dpkg-dev, but how many emacsen are a package maintainer supposed to take into account? - Sten Anderson
