It is plain wrong as well since you don't know really what state that
package is in. Besides when I build the binaries for the smoketests I
have no packages available at all so my attempt yesterday to set up
21.4 failed miserably due to this. So a fix without requiring the
package is very welcome.

Yes.
Is there a short explanation to that it is all well to have it in 21.5
but not in 21.4?

Hmm... I though that Vin was going down the fix-21.4-properly-path
(the alternative route to the monkey-patch). Was the fact that
easy-mmode was missing in lisp a negative surprise here or am I
completely lost?
