That is what I did. And I got a bug report about it; and hence
I thought a clarification may save us all future bug reports ;-). It
works just fine. At least, it has for me.
As I said (and I should have clarified it), I think that
putting a start file in a subset of /etc/<emacs>/site-start.d should
be recommended iff the package is only supported on a subset of
<emacs>. (I thinkI mean <emacs> and not <flavour>).

(symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor)
Symbol's value as variable is void: debian-emacs-flavor
Sorry, not yet.
