I can confirm that an initial install works, thank you for pointing this
out. Somehow, some cleanup process removes everything but .el and .elc
files sometimes when upgrading, but I don’t know why yet. I suspect doom
is doing some kind of cleanup, so I filed a bug there as well. I’ll
report here when I find out some more.
