2018 I tried to add a small test-script which tries to load every 
package, every package twice or any combinations of two packages:
tests/testpackages.sh
This may be helpful to find such problems.

See commit: d74089fc023a897c9819e7ecd5e675f2458d1676

Currently it seems to be dropped in the lisp debugger several times, 
which must be exited - why? That was most likely not the case 2018.

The main "problem" is - what is a valid "package" and what's just a 
helper function file? Is there test to check that? Maybe just with a 
'grep' command?

Best regards, Wolfgang
