Agreed. I think that the idea of making it easy to do the right thing
is good, but as I mentioned, I don't want to try to tackle everything at
once.
So I think I'd like to get the initial emcasen-common overhaul finished
first, and allow people to start testing, and then see what things I
might be able to usefully add as helper scripts or functions.
I'm also in the process of overhauling debian-emacs-policy and the
existing examples, so that they both reflect the new approach, and
so that the examples are actually actually correct...
Thanks
