> Are there any yet-another python implementation?

I don't know, but some people do want different versions (newer, older,
whatever) installed.  Python aside, another example are kernel module packages.
 Yes, it is acceptable to compile on the fly or %post or something in some
folks' opinion (for example DKMS does that unless I'm mistaken), but there is
strong opposition to that from others.

Less than for various Emacsen?  I fail to see why.

Yes, but that kind of defeats the idea of getting stuff byte compiled for
whatever Emacsen are installed on that particular box.

On a side note, there have been lots of reports over time on xemacs-beta about
Debian's setup being broken and resulting in for example XEmacs somehow getting
*.elc bytecompiled by GNU Emacs in its load path.  That will obviously wreak
havoc.  OTOH my gut feeling is that the reports are less frequent nowadays so
it's possible that the Debian folks have got it fixed.
