In theory, one could want to have Emacs both in =E2=80=98native-inputs=E2=
=80=99 (to
build .elc files, for instance) and in =E2=80=98inputs=E2=80=99 (for instan=
ce because
the program embeds a reference to the =E2=80=98emacs=E2=80=99 program.)

So I=E2=80=99m rather reluctant about this approach.

Did you find packages where Emacs wrongfully appears twice in the
inputs?  It might be best to fix those packages instead.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
