Dear Drew Adams,

Thank you for your detailed explanation and sorry for submitting the
report to this list.

I've forwarded the report to the author of that elisp code.  (But, I
don't know if s/he is the "packager" of it.)

For my education, may I ask which part of the emacs package system
(package.el ?) belongs to emacs proper?  The whole thing?  It's always
hard to know which part of a big system (another example is LaTeX) is
maintained by whom.

[. . .]

So, are both"theming systems" themselves part of emacs proper, even if
each theme is 3rd party?

Regards,

Ryo
