How about adding this snippet instead:

  if [ ${flavour} = emacs20 ]
  then
      ...
      rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.3/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz
      rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.4/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz
      rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.5/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz
      rm -f /usr/share/emacs/20.6/site-lisp/gri-mode.CompilationLog.gz
      ...
  fi
   
This wouldn't be optimal, but seems like the safe thing to do.  If
people file bug reports for other files/flavors, other snippets like
the above could be inserted.

This seems like maybe about as far as we should go handling old
cruft-wize.
