Ehr... the bug report I filed was mainly about the mistaken load-path,
which you already fixed, I would have set `Severity: wishlist'
otherwise. Maybe I should have filed two independent bug with
different severity levels? :-)
There's another possibility: just put one file in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/ with a big `if' or `cond' form (on
debian-emacs-flavor) surrounding the actual code.
This is obviously up to you: I would prefer just one file, rather than
two otherwise identical ones differing in just one form (setq
load-path ...), but YMMV.

Why couldn't be emacsen-common the package taking care of
debian-emacs-flavor? Could that symbol be set in debian-startup?
