Why not put a line in the regular site-start.el -- the one in the
Emacs-standard location, not the one in /etc/emacs/site-start.el -- that
loads /etc/emacs/site-start.el?
Or if the problem is that Debian isn't allowed to touch anything under
/usr/local/, then put code in /etc/emacs/site-start.el that loads
/usr/share/.../site-start.el and /usr/local/share/.../site-start.el (and
same for any other potentially blocked 'site-start.el's).
Wouldn't that solve all the problems here?
Do you need a bug filed at bugs.debian.org, or is this email enough?
Best,
