tags 530961 +patch thanks Attached please find a patch against 1.4.19.

I'm inlining as well as attaching, for your convenience. The patch is quite small, obviously. /* era */ --- emacsen-common-1.4.19/debian-startup.el~ 2009-05-17 22:38:21.000000000 +0000 +++ emacsen-common-1.4.19/debian-startup.el 2010-09-14 09:48:58.766324218 +0000 @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ of the dirs, where XX must be a number.
