What about this (bash) shell code?
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
clean_old_cruft () {
    rm -f /usr/share/emacs/$1/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
    rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty --parents \
        /usr/share/emacs/$1/site-lisp/mailcrypt/
}
## Note that /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mailcrypt is _not_ enclosed in the
## following pattern, and it shouldn't be.
for i in /usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/; do
    i=${i#/usr/share/emacs/}
    i=${i%/site-lisp/mailcrypt/}
    test -e /usr/bin/emacs-$i || clean_old_cruft $i
done
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<

Seems to work for me, so I plan to solve this bug this way.  Comments?

I'm not familiar with xemacs, but then I don't need it: mailcrypt
depends on GNU emacsen only.

Thanks,
