 Maybe the package vs  system files precedence order should be re
thunk? 
I don't think so.  This is a dump-time mis-interaction.  The rules
were very carefully laid out to provide maximum flexibility in the
search order.

I tell you three times, when manually updating packages with tar, `rm
-f $(cat pkginfo/MANIFEST.<pkgname>)' first.  The next file to disappear
will be mule-debug.el.
