Automatic loading of tuareg doesn't work

[David Kågedal]

When I start an emacs and open a .ml file, I get this message:

  File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "tuareg")

This is beacuse even if /etc/emacs/site-start.d/51tuareg-mode.el has been loaded, it hasn't added /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/tuareg-mode/ to load-path.

Shouldn't 51tuareg-mode.el use debian-pkg-add-load-path-item or something.

ii tuareg-mode 1.45.2-1 An emacs-mode for ocaml programs
ii emacs21 21.4a-3ubuntu1 The GNU Emacs editor

Here's the needed patch, if my browser doesn't mangle it too bad:

Isn't there anyone who knows how elisp packages should be written?

Is this symptom reproducible in 8.10 alpha?

[David Kågedal (dkagedal)]

I t seems to work even in hardy. I haven't tried 8.10
