Hello, A few comments. Thanks for working on this.
- I find your NEWS.Debian entry imperspicuous. In particular, "This means that the previous automatic handling of non-elpa-* byte-compilation (package install time) dependencies is removed." -- to what automatic handling do you refer? I know, but a reader might not, since it's not exactly a headline dh_elpa feature.. I suggest rewriting to say something like "the load path for bytecompilation now excludes all lisp outside of that bundled with Emacs itself and any installed dh_elpa packages." - Similarly, in the changelog, I would describe the change in terms of the more limited load path, which is /implemented/ by means of --quick (and change to EMACSLOADPATH? See below). - You seem to have removed /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp from the load path in addition to passing --quick; is this an additional removal or part of fixing this bug (which I thought was more about excluding the local admin's lisp)? Commit message doesn't say, so should probably be in changelog. - Manpage entry duplicates 'compilation'. -- Sean Whitton
