Comment 61 for bug 300946

Could people who have this problem please try the latest beta that I just uploaded. (See EmacsWiki.)

I have got some contact with Romain and this is our conversation so far:

>>> I see. Which packages are loaded as add-ons?
>>
>> All the distribution packages based on emacsen-common.
>>
>>> Where are they loaded, in site-start.el, or?
>>
>> Debianized Emacsen load /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup.el
>> which in turns loads all the files in /etc/emacs/site-start.d and
>> /etc/<emacs-flavor>/site-start.d.

> Thanks. I do not have Ubuntu here (sigh), but I downloaded the files.
