Sorry, I didn't see this message before I responded to the last one.  I 
don't know the answer, but for now I'd just keep the working solution.

Here's my /etc/emacs/site-start.el:

	(load "debian-rundir")
	(debian-run-directory)
	;; DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
	;; See /usr/doc/emacs/README.site-start.d for where to add your package
	;; initialization code.

This is on a virgin 1.3.0 machine (it was installed late in the frozen 
pre-release period).
