Of course it is an emacs and will work like one :).
The question is if I should make a complete set of packages or if I should
try to reuse most of the xemacs-packages. Are people expecting that or
are people expecting it to be a new set of packages with new structure on
the package level. I mostly think of the future and I do not know if
xemacs and gtk-xemacs will turn into different ways in the future.
Should I try to reuse (which takes some more time), or should I make a new
(set of) package(s)?
And an other question. If I use debian-build code from the xemacs package
should I have the changelogs there too? Well that is a debian-maint question
but anyway. :)
