Thanks.  Those packages seemed rather short though, do you think it is
a problem if they are included?

Yes, I even had to sett pgg-scheme to get things to work since PGG
chosed pgp5 for me which I don't have installed.  I didn't investigate
why it did that though.

I have reverted my change -- I found that simply loading edebug made
it work.  Thanks.

Cannot luna.el be included in Oort too?  Or is it an issue of
copyrights?  It does say the copyright is hold by FSF (although I
haven't received an answer from FSF if they indeed have papers for
it).
