I guess that Erick meant something else; the following tends to sit in
/etc/site-start.el
;; (load "/usr/lib/emacs/19.29/lisp/jka-compr.elc")
I replaced it with a load with no absolute path
;; (load "jka-compr")
which I now, under emacs-19.30, replaced with
(auto-compression-mode 1)
See /usr/lib/emacs/19.30/etc/NEWS

Sounds good to me.

The last version was called -11 because it was an Elf recompilation of the
current a.out version which, I believe, was called -4.
