I'm here still. I've been waiting on both the canna and wnn packages
from the Japanese project being put officially into debian (which
still hasn't happened though it was discussed months ago) and the
emacsen-common package coming out (which was released a few days
before I went on a business trip so I haven't had a chance to update
things to use that) before I did major upgrades on the xemacs
packages. I'll be working on them this next week and hopefully there
will be new packages out next weekend.
As an aside it looks like 20.4 will be out shortly so I'll be using
that as the code base for xemacs20 packages rather than 20.3.
