I don't see it in emacs 20.

I posted a proposal recently to both debian-devel and debian policy
about how to handle add-on packages and the various emacsen. Could
you read that and see what you think? Unless there are major
objections, that proposal's probably going to become policy.
If you have questions about the proposal, I'd be more than happy to
answer them.

The emacsen may switch to /usr/share soon. I think we discussed this
recently, and people seemed to think it was a good idea. I'll talk to
the other maintainers and see what they think...
If they agree, I'll update my proposal.
