 I have a vague notion of how I will solve that problem.  There will
 be separate Debian packages of most of the upstream `xemacs-packages'
 lisp, which I will build as automagicly as possible from an anon CVS
 checkout of their sources.  I want to make it easy to keep up to
 date.

 Some of the essential stuff will ship with the xemacs21-support
 package.
