I think there's a reason for url.el to require mailcap.  And
mailcap.el comes with url.  So this is a problem only when
considering the interaction of packages.

I wonder if Debian could allow users to frob the load-path before the
standard w3 package is loaded?  Maybe read a file ~/.emacs.first, if
it exists?
