Running

  emacs -q --no-site-file --batch  --eval '(message "%s" load-path)

With debian wheezy's /usr/bin/emacs prints:

A copy of emacs installed from source to /usr/local/bin prints:

Hmm, while Debian's emacs has both /usr and /usr/local site-lisp
directories, the emacs installed from source only has the /usr/local
site-lisp directory :/

That's somewhat unexpected.  In the latter case
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp even exists but isn't listed still.

cheers,

David
