Me no like. Switching bindings around just because a particular
package file exists is not something I'd want (although it's fairly
harmless here). Would it not be better to just move ibuffer.el into
core lisp and remove the other implementation? I dislike having
multiple implementations of the same thing.
Moving ibuffer.el out of packages and into core lisp is better for a
future XEmacs, but then deprives existing XEmacsen. Hmm.
