Package: global
Version: 6.6.2-2+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Emacs expects the source for byte-compiled files to be in the same
directory. If this is not the case `M-x find-function` is broken and
`M-x describe-function` doesn't display a link to the package source
code.
The `debian/global.emacsen-install` file seems to remove all *.el
files in the aforementioned directory (excerpt):
# remove the redundant .el files
# presumes that any .el files in the <flavor> dir are trash.
rm ${elc_dir}/*.el
If I remove this line the everything works as expected. I do see how
without this line files might accumulate in the $elc_dir if the set of
*.el files shipped by upstream changes.
Thus I suggest just cleaning up $elc_dir before copying/compiling the
*.el files into it (patch attached).
