That's probably because the Debian XEmacs21 lacks even the most basic
packages "xemacs-base-1.xx-pkg.tar.gz" and "efs-1.xx-pkg.tar.gz".
Give the maintainer some time to find out how to make a good XEmacs21
package - it's not easy at all...

Add to that "efs-1.xx-pkg.tar.gz" and "xemacs-base-1.xx-pkg.tar.gz"
and i'd be happy. I'm currently compiling it myself with almost all
the packages i found at ftp.xemacs.org. It's simply nice to have it
all included.
