Re: Debian's idiosyncratic complexification of Emacs

Incidentally, while on the issue of debian emacs startup, I have the
following snippet in my .emacs file for hooking my non-debian emacs into
the debian emacs package system:

   ;; Debian stuff
   (unless (boundp 'debian-emacs-flavor)
     (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup")
     (debian-startup 'emacs22)
     (debian-startup 'emacs22))

["emacs22" because there is no emacs23 in debian yet]

It does appear to work (I can even use complicated packages like ecb
installed via aptitude), but is obviously slightly odd; is there a
better way than this?

AFAICT, the multiple calls to `debian-startup' are necessary -- it
doesn't work with just one -- which is one of the weird things nobody
seemed to understand when I asked about it a few years about on
debian-emacsen....

Thanks,

-Miles
