While checking the emacs-version, i found that it was emacs 21.3.50.7
(corresponding to the faultly doc string) but with a 2 months old compile
date... Quite not the fresh version i though i had compiled.
BTW : how can i get that .7 subversion ? I have checked that Makefile
provides a 21.3.50 version string...

Well, listening that i *should not* get what i get, seeing a weird
version/compilation date and that maybe i was using a wrong executable made
me replay the whole installation process.
I apt-get removed both emacs-snapshot packages, made a fresh cvs-checkout,
recompiled the packages and reinstalled all.
It seems that my emacs is now "GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.4.13) of 2004-11-01 on obelix.seki.fr, modified by Debian."
I have also remarked that tramp seems to work now (no more fail, no more doc
problem) so does ecb. Things are far better now.
So, i must admit that i must have used a wrong version for a while :(
Many thanks all for your feedback.
