	Oh, I'm not complaining, really.

	Yes, that would work too. I guess I might have used that --
 except debian-emacs-flavor did not work at the moment, and I came up
 with a method to patch one upstream file with the proper path for
 different flavours at install time, which works quite well enough.

	Since there is only one file in my source, this is not as bad
 as it appears. I also personally dislike putting extended defuns et
 all in a cond form, but that is a personal idiosyncracy that has
 little technical bearing on this.

	All I meant to say here is that there are more than one ways
 of doing things, and either a cond form using debian-emacs-flavor or
 separate fles in relevant site-start.d directores should be allowed
 (and thus not subject to wishlist bugs ;-)

	The duplication of a small startup file is not so bad, after
 all.
