You can also use Jérôme Marant packaging stuff for CVS Emacs. As I
recall, you simply add his debian/ directory to your CVS tree and build
a Debian package yourself. As far as gnu goes, Manoj Srivastava
probably still does his nightly CVS gnus build as a Debian package.

Debian packages that want to setup Emacs stuff do so by adding a file
under /etc/emacs*/site-start.d/ directories, usually just
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/. All files there gets loaded on startup and
you are free to edit them as config files.

Cool. We might even get color-theme.el packaged in Debian, if you
recall. See:
