Dirk, thanks for including your explanation of the current packaging of elisp files. While it clarified the current condition it also helped me to pinpoint my issue with the treatment of elisp sources.
I'm not having a fit over this. If debian distributions are to go against the convention of keeping elisp files as a primary distribution form for the sake of disk space, I can accept that. If we are doing to follow the convention of a different language, I find it unreasonable. If for what ever reason we do separate the elisp source files, I would like to see it stated as a convention to be followed by all elisp related packages and I would want to ensure that when sources are installed that they fall into the same directory as the compiled files. I think the example set by the emacs and emacs-el packages is the correct model to follow. Costa
