You're the second person to tell me that... I've also been told that
this is off-topic/moot in xemacs-beta; sorry for posting if that's
the general feeling.
We'll try to work this out on the debian-emacsen list. I'll see
about abolishing the use of site-lisp for XEmacs. I see no reason
why the Debian `install-emacs' can't be made to regenerate an
auto-autoloads file somehow, when it byte-compiles, on package
installation, Lisp meant for all emacsen. (Eg:
debian-changelog-mode.el) The lisp is installed in one directory,
then symlinks are made into the appropriate locations. It should be
easy to do, and we'll never need to add to load-path again after
that.
[ I tried to search the xemacs-beta archive for `load-path', and it
spit out reams. I think it will be faster to just trace the codes. ]
