dh-elpa (1.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix version comparison in elpa.pm.
    Quote "0.90" so that the trailing 0 is not lost.
  * Override debian-watch-file-in-native-package.

+* package.el
+
+- package-directory-list (v) 
+  
+  list of additional directories containing elpa packages. In
+  particular this has an emacs version specific directory where we can
+  install byte compiled files.
+
+  Note that having the same package-$version in two different
+  directories in this list seems not to work out well, since the
+  ordering of the constructed load-path is backwards from the list. Or
+  something.
+
+- package-unpack (f) 
+
+  does the actual installation, using dynamically bound
+  *package-user-dir*. The current version is safe to call without
+  network access, but it's probably considered internal.
+
+* workflow
+** at package build time
+- install a copied/modified package-unpack into 
+
+  $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src
+
+  This is intentionally not ending in elpa, because of the problems
+  discussed immediately above with multiple versions of a package.
+
+- install emacsen-common helper scripts into 
+  $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/{compat,install,remove}
+
+- add postinst / prerm cookies to maintainer scripts
+
+** at package install time
+- prerm and postinst as per a normal emacsen-common using package
+- don't install a startup file into /etc; that's one of our selling
+  points.
