Re: Bug with lexical-binding and package-install?

Sorry about that, I have sent a proper bug report with reproducible steps.

What is "init-packages.el"?
"grep init-package **/*.el" doesn't find anything in Emacs's trunk.

I'm trying to understand how this could happen, which I find difficult
to imagine: lexical-binding is made buffer-local in every file that is
byte-compiled, so for an external lexical-binding setting to affect
byte-compilation, you'd have to call `byte-compile' directly rather than
via byte-compile-file.
At least that's the way the code should behave.

Oh, and please make it an actual bug-report rather than sending it here
on emacs-devel.
