With the current Debian arrangment, there would only ever be *one* system-level .eln tree for the one installed Debian variant (emacs-nox, emacs-lucid, or emacs-gtk). Though of course the dir name hash might/would change during each upgrade, but we already assume we have to rebuild all the .elc files on each upgrade, and do (in dependency order), so that shouldn't be a problem. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2011-07-10 E6A9 DA3C C9FD 1FF8 C676 D2C4 C0F0 39E9 ED1B 597A GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
