As a follow-up, I now also received a Debian bug report email from Sebastian Meyer (CC'ed) with some helpful detective work I should have done -- my packaging was still setting ess-site.el to the wrong (old) path.
I fixed this in a new build 18.10-1-2. Before I toss that at the Debian build servers (and Michael for his Ubuntu builds), could anyone who has an issue please test it? Thes ess and elpa-ess deb files are here for now: http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/tmp/ess/ It's just a directory, not an apt repo, so you need to download eg http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/tmp/ess/elpa-ess_18.10-1-2_all.deb and then install it. These "work for me" but then I also did not have that recent issue. Testing feedback (on list or off-list) would be much appreciated.
