Actually, it looks like those three files in site-start.d were expecting
to see .elc files in those same directories, when they're now kept in
emacs-version-specific directories.

Hmm, it looks like this probably happened because I didn't upgrade
emacsen-common before I upgraded your packages; just:
,----
| $ dpkg-reconfigure {debian-el,devscripts-el,dpkg-dev-el}
`----
(with emacsen-common 2.08 installed this time) seems to have been enough
to get it working again. My only guess as to why this would help is
that the scripts called to to build the elisp didn't actually do
anything useful in the old version of emacsen-common ...
However, I *still* get all of the messages I mentioned, so something
tells me that these files are all useless to me now:
,----
| % ls -l
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50{debbugs-el,debian-el,devscripts-el,dpkg-dev-el,emacs-goodies-el}.el
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1256 Sep 20 2003

/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50emacs-goodies-el.el
`----
In fact, dpkg doesn't even *know* about two of them:
,----
| % dpkg -S
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50{debbugs-el,debian-el,devscripts-el,dpkg-dev-el,emacs-goodies-el}.el
| dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50debbugs-el.el
| dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern

In conclusion, I think there are (at least) two problems here:
1. You forgot to add the "Depends: emacsen-common (>= 2.0.8)" that
debian-emacs-policy section 5A (from emacsen-common 2.0.8) says
you're supposed to have in each "add-on package".
Actually, that seems at least partly a bug in dh_installemacsen(1);
it should really be adding that dependency to a substvar for you.
2. You have some obsolete config files to remove (if not modified by
the user), at least some of which dpkg may not be tracking at all
anymore.
Its nice that the main functionality seems to be working for me again,
though :-).
