Yes.

Yes, with the -q option:
    ;; Debian version of site-start.
    (if site-run-file
        (progn
          ;; Load all the debian package snippets.
          ;; It's in here because we want -q to kill it too.
          (if (load "debian-startup" t t nil)
              (debian-startup debian-emacs-flavor))
          ;; Now the normal site file...
          (load site-run-file t t nil)))

The Debian-specific stuff for all Emacsen is in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup.el.

I don't think so, but it looks for
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el.

I don't have one.

I can prevent my local JED from loading /etc/jed.conf by touching a
/usr/local/jed/lib/defaults.sl, but I think it should not be necessary.
