Ah, I see.  Yes that might be prudent, though the "flavor-dir" one
coming in is a fresh concat.

Sounds likely ... change the policy to match the practice :-).

Hmm.  Does "emacs -Q" own startup put all subdirs like
/usr/share/emacs/24.2/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el, then debian adds
/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/

You'd be tempted to prune out the /24.2/ ones if they're merely symlinks
to the debian ones.  It looks like all the 24.2 is at the same place in
the load-path order.
