That's great -- thanks.

Right. I believe newer versions of Emacs automatically add directories
in some situations. As I recently mentioned elsewhere, I think it might
be worth taking some time to review the way we handle the load-path in
light of those changes, but that probably can (and should) wait until
after Wheezy.

Possibly. Also...
Release team: at this point, please hold off on 2.0.4 -- another bug has
been discovered that should probably also be included in wheezy:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693472
I'm waiting to see if Sébastien has time to review my fix, and then I'll
generate a 2.0.5 and resubmit.
And when I submit 2.0.5 here, should I include the debdiff against
2.0.4, or the full debdiff against what's currently in wheezy (i.e
including the 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 diffs)?
Thanks
