Debian mule-ucs package enables Mule-UCS Unicode (loading
/usr/share/<flavor>/site-lisp/mule-ucs/un-define.elc) by default
in the startup file `/etc/emacs/site-start.d/40mule-ucs.el'.
Loading un-define.elc might take several seconds. If you want to
disable Mule-UCS Unicode, set the `DEB_MULEUCS_UNICODE'
environment variable to "off" before starting Emacs. See also
`/usr/share/doc/mule-ucs/README.Debian'.
(The `DEB_MULEUCS_UNICODE' environment variable is supported by
Debian mule-ucs 0.84.99rc3-1 or later version.)
