Thanks! + +Daniel and I chatted a bit on IRC, but for the record, other than lack +of time, my current concern about this is how well supported +build-profiles are supported on Debian stable. I haven't researched +this, but feedback is welcome. + +BTW, bash completion is not there for the tests, nor is emacs (only) for +the tests. Emacs might be avoidable as a Debian build-dep (since Debian +does byte compilation at install time), but would come back if we switch +to "dh_elpa".
