I am not completely sure, but is strange that I could not reproduce it in my
frequently updated sid box. I am using pristine emacsen-common, so if it
were due to emacsen-comon I guess I should have reproduced it.
I have even manually tried
# /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-remove xemacs21
# /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install xemacs21
with no problem.
Looking at #619367, happening with ocaml installation is what makes me think
about the possibility that the fact that this bug happens with emacsen-common
is just accidental.
As a blind guess I think about two other possibilities, a buggy xemacs21
version that has problems upgrading to a way more recent version or a buggy
emacsen add-on package that is messing up with paths and definitions. Or a
local problem.
Andreas, does manually running emacs-{remove,install} as above show anything
strange?

Agreed. Even if only to look what happens, although I do not expect this bug
to suddenly dissapear just because of that, the ocaml bug seems to happen in
a "quiet" install.
