Seems I got it, To try making elisp files as backwards compatible as
possible I still have emacs20 installed,

$ dpkg -S  subdirs.el
emacs20: /usr/share/emacs/20.7/site-lisp/subdirs.el
emacs20: /usr/share/emacs/20.7/lisp/subdirs.el
emacs20: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el  **** !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****
emacs21-common: /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/subdirs.el
emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/lisp/subdirs.el
emacs21-common: /usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/subdirs.el
emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/subdirs.el

and that is the one to blame. This is surely also causing the problem I
noticed with mailcrypt.

Thanks for the feedback, I will just remove that file in my system.

Cheers,
