Good. I was not sure of this.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check this in the next release.

BTW I noticed today a compilation log in
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/calc/CompilationLog.gz from, I presume,
the calc package installation. What surprises me is that the file is
not gziped despite its name and I have to find-file-literally it
to read it.

I tracked down the problem : /var/lib/dpkg/info/calc.postinst
calls the function /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install calc,
which in turns seems to call
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/calc and here we find the
COMPILATIONLOG in the following lines :

COMPILATIONLOG=/usr/share/${FLAVOR}/site-lisp/${PACKAGE}/CompilationLog.gz

[...]

if ${FLAVOR} ${FLAGS} 1>$COMPILATIONLOG 2>&1; then
    echo "Compilation successful, log saved as $COMPILATIONLOG"
else
    estatus=1
    echo "Compilation failed, log saved as $COMPILATIONLOG"
fi

The compilation log should be gziped in either case (or the filename
changed).
