>Description:
	Lisp package ports should install in a emacs version neutral
directory, so that they will still work after an upgrade to emacs.

	psgml and mpg123.el install in the right directory:
	/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp

	But bbdb, mule-ucs, speedbar, jde etc all install in:
	/usr/local/share/emacs/21.2.

	An upgrade to emacs 21.3 will make all these installation stop working.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Install in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp and modify subdirs.el if
necessary. Or see the debian package examples for bbdb, jde etc.
