Is there a good reason why you're moving the compiled .elc
files out of the install directory?
This is why your previous package broke--
it's also different than how other Linuxuns install emacs.
If there is something more here than Debian wanting to be
different one would like to know:-)>>>>> "James" == James R Van Zandt <jrv@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes:

James> emacspeak for DEBIAN ----------------------
James> Emacspeak is authored by T. V. Raman
James> <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>. These are the primary
James> changes made in building the Debian package: html
James> and plain text versions of the documentation were
James> added. A configuration script
James> (/usr/sbin/emacspeakconfig) and associated speech
James> server descriptions
James> (/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/blurbs/*)
James> were added. Manual pages for emacspeak and the
James> configuration script were added. Minor changes
James> are listed in changelog.Debian.
James> Starting with version 11.0, the Emacspeak sources
James> include a speech server written in C++ for the
James> IBM ViaVoice speech synthesis software. However,
James> it depends on the ViaVoice runtime kit which does
James> not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
James> (It is available only as object code, and only
James> under a temporary license.) Therefore, support
James> for ViaVoice is not included in this Debian
James> package. IBM is making beta copies of ViaVoice
James> for i386 available without charge. If you would
James> like to try it, you can find some information at
James> http://www-4.ibm.com/software/speech/dev/ttssdk_linux.html
James> and download from
James> http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/viavoice/linux-p.
James> You need two files - the software developer kit
James> and the run time kit. They come in the form of
James> two tar files which in turn contain RPM files.
James> You can convert these to Debian packages and
James> install them as follows:
James> tar -xf viavoice_tts_rtk_5.tar tar -xf
James> viavoice_tts_sdk_5.tar fakeroot alien -d
James> ViaVoice_TTS_rtk-5.1-1.2.i386.rpm fakeroot alien
James> -d ViaVoice_TTS_sdk-5.1-1.2.i386.rpm dpkg -i
James> --force-overwrite
James> viavoice-tts-rtk_5.1-2.2_i386.deb \
James> viavoice-tts-sdk_5.1-2.2_i386.deb
James> (The last step must be performed as root. If you
James> run alien as root, you may omit the use of
James> fakeroot. The --force-overwrite flag is
James> necessary because several files appear in both
James> packages.) At this point, please read
James> /usr/doc/ViaVoiceTTS/ttssd.lic.la.txt.gz,
James> /usr/doc/ViaVoiceTTS/ttsrt.lic.ila.txt.gz, and
James> /usr/doc/ViaVoiceTTS/ttsrt.lic.ila.eval.txt.gz
James> and decide whether you can accept the terms of
James> the IBM license. If so, you can then unpack the
James> Emacspeak sources (either from
James> debian/dists/stable/main/source/editors/emacspeak_*.0.orig.tar.gz
James> on a cdrom or a Debian archive mirror, or else
James> from
James> ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/raman/emacspeak/)
James> and follow the instructions in
James> linux-outloud/NOTES to build and install the
James> speech server.
James> Starting with version 10.0, Dr. Raman has
James> rewritten the documentation files. Approximately
James> 100 commands are described there, compared to
James> over 800 in the documentation shipped with the
James> previous release. Therefore, the user should pay
James> particular attention to the section "Using Online
James> Help".
James> Many command-line applications can be run under
James> emacs, and can therefore be made accessible with
James> emacspeak. Much of this is explained in the
James> documentation entitled "Running Terminal Based
James> Applications". However, it is worth emphasizing
James> this point: "For regular shell interaction just
James> use M-x shell instead of using the terminal
James> emulator."
James> The example file "tables.html" was supplied by
James> Dr. Raman in a separate email. It may be found
James> in /usr/doc/emacspeak/examples. It includes a
James> sample table with three columns (labeled "item",
James> "date", and "amount"), and three rows. For a
James> discussion of the support for tables in emacspeak
James> and w3, see NEWS (or NEWS.gz) in
James> /usr/doc/emacspeak.
James> The Emacspeak-HOWTO contains additional
James> documentation. The plain text form of this can
James> be found in the Debian package doc-linux, and is
James> installed as /usr/doc/HOWTO/Emacspeak-HOWTO.gz.
James> Other formats are also available. For example,
James> these can be found at sunsite.unc.edu:
James>
James> /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/dvi/Emacspeak-HOWTO.dvi.gz
James> /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html/Emacspeak-HOWTO-html.tar.gz
James> /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/ps/Emacspeak-HOWTO.ps.gz
James> /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/sgml/Emacspeak-HOWTO.sgml.gz
James> There is also an Emacspeak mailing list. To
