I found it: http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2002/debian-emacsen-200202/msg00041.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2002/debian-emacsen-200202/msg00050.html and: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/debian-emacs-policy D) Each add-on package must declare relevant dependencies on other packages (including other add-on packages). Note that add-on packages should not depend on emacsen-common directly, but rather on either the virtual package "emacsen" (see below), or some appropriate combination of flavors (i.e. Depends: emacs21 | emacs10). > And as you write below, byte-compiling a 4k file is > probably not worth the effort. That's what I think anyway. Peter
