Bug#157123: project: modify emacs policy

i do see now what you are saying.  This takes care of most of my
complaints.  However, an important problem remains


[1] It seems that, by default, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/foo/ don't
get added for most of the packages, whereas
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/foo does get added.   where foo
represents the package. 

Some examples of The packages where the former directory did not get
added, for me are:

erc <-- this one, i am sure of...  others are gleaned from lookign at
load-path


w3m
tramp
speebar
maxima
gnuserv
eieio
bbdb
ada-mode
elib
apel.

and all others...

the only exception which worked properly by default was:
html-helper-mode <--M-x find-functino worked here. 



[2] IT is still not perfect to not have the .el files in the same
place as .elc, (i know some stuff depends on that), but that is a
minor issue, and i wil stop bugging you about that :)




Have a good day,
DG
