I have the following code in my .emacs file (debian with the installed
packages from above)

;; autoload x-faces :)

(autoload 'x-face-decode-message-header "x-face-e21")
(autoload 'x-face-insert "x-face-e21" nil t)
(autoload 'x-face-save "x-face-e21" nil t)
(autoload 'x-face-show "x-face-e21" nil t)
(autoload 'x-face-turn-off "x-face-e21")
(setq x-face-auto-image t)

And the additional package x-face-el. With that code it works very
nice here.
