Well, it's a matter of whether or not we think they should be in buster. It seems unlikely that these packages lost their active maintainership since stretch was released, so they've already been in one stable release in their current state. So it seems reasonable not to include them in buster? Might not want to cut it too close to the freeze in case there are delays. > To Team: Ok, with the work in progress src:emacs-goodies-el is > dropping XEmacs support, and this is documented in debian/NEWS. Good idea to add debian/NEWS. -- Sean Whitton
