Here:
=====
gismo:/home/luca# grep -r slime-backend /etc/emacs*
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50slime.el:(setq slime-backend
gismo:/home/luca# 
=====

But what is strange is that it seems ok after a purging step:
=====
gismo:/home/luca# dpkg --purge slime cl-swank
(Reading database ... 105476 files and directories currently
installed.)
Removing slime ...
remove/slime: purging byte-compiled files for emacs-snapshot
remove/slime: purging byte-compiled files for emacs21
Purging configuration files for slime ...
Removing cl-swank ...

gismo:/home/luca# grep slime-backend /etc/emacs*
gismo:/home/luca# 
=====

Obviously, I checked that after the purging step `slime-backend' is
no more defined in GNU Emasc snapshot.

Probably a misconfigured /etc/emacs* ?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
