Debian based distros are doing some odd things with emacs packages by placing additional global load scripts in /etc/emacs. I haven't fully figured out when they get called, but it might be they get called before your init file does.
I know I removed the default org mode install on my Ubuntu machine and haven't seen any problems.

I can't check this just now (as I don't have access to my ubuntu
machine at the moment) but as I understand it Org-mode is distributed
with Emacs now, but the commands in the .emacs file over ride the
built in version and use the version in the path set up in .emacs.
That is what happens on the Mac, unless I have misunderstood.
Thanks,
Graham
