Bug#671551: ecasound-el: debian-pkg-add-load-path-item

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: ecasound-el
Version: 2.8.1-6
Severity: minor
File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ecasound-el.el

/usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz section 9 asks lisp
add-ons to add directories with `debian-pkg-add-load-path-item' rather
than directly modifying `load-path' the way 50ecasound-el.el does.

I believe debian-pkg-add-load-path-item is available as of "sarge"
emacsen-common 1.4.14 of June 2002.  It aims to keep /usr/local ahead of
packaged lisp dirs so that anything in /usr/local has precedence.

I notice too 50ecasound-el.el uses (symbol-name flavor) to make the
path.  I think `flavor' is only a dynamic binding from the site-start.d
running code whereas `debian-emacs-flavor' is the documented variable.
