Unfortunately, I do not have a  Debian system to test this on,  unless
Knoppix fits.
I appreciate the complement on EMacro. I believe that it is the oldest
package
dedicated to ease of Emacs use.
I am glad to see competition, i.e. more easy Emacs packages!
I've been devoting my recent time to polishing EMacro for serious
distribution.

You can see how I use tiny-load (grep is your friend) at the end of
e-config.el, as
well as in e-functions.el.
If the online help does not work for you, and there are no Linux User Groups
in your
area, nor a Linux Guru at work, then perhaps it is time to start a Hacking
Elisp
entry at http://www.emacswiki.org/

If all this still gives your neuron meltdown a senior moment, I have heard
of an open
source bounty site. Perhaps donating a recently completed tech textbook, or
a
SourceForge or Gnu contribution might motivate an alpha geek, here, on
Debian or
elsewhere...
