Yes, this is about exactly the situation. emacsen need to byte-compile all installed add-on packages. This recompilation happens from emacsen's postinst script, but the fix needs to happen in the add-on package. > If there is some common hook already for emacs packages, you could probably > do better. No, there is no such hook (yet). I don't see how an hook could help with this particular case. > Does that make sense?
