Oh, I don't know whether I'm right or wrong there either, just
describing my defensive behavior :)

Ahh, yeah, speaking more generally, I fully expect we may hit and have
to (help) fix a relatively large number of edge cases as a result of the
addition of native compilation.  Lots of new moving parts, and the
arrangement in Debian is likely different from what upstream typically
tests in important ways.

(cf. the other problem right now where installs segfault in some cases
 if you don't already have emacs-el installed.  That's likely an
 upstream bug of some kind.)
