I'm pretty sure I posted later with:

(cond
 ((equal emacs-major-version '21)
  (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
  (load "debian-startup")
  (message "Debian startup...")
  (debian-startup 'emacs)
  (message "Debian startup done.")))
 
Note that I use flavor emacs so un-byte-compiled file will be used.
This workd for most add-on elisp packages (except semi et al.)

As I recall I submitted a bug about that (or did I simply email Rob with
it?)
