A wild guess would be aplus-fsf-el built from aplus-fsf source package
depending on xemacs21-nomule, built from xemacs21 source package.
I do agree that you should have been adviced beforehand.

somehow depending on some other emacs flavour will let aplus-fsf flow
back into testing once a new version is 10 days old.
