Hmm. Well, it wouldn't be my first choice, but I think it's not really
the most important issue to figure out. For example, are we ready to
drop xemacs support from dpkg-dev-el and debian-el? If not, then that's
a problem. OTOH, I also don't want to block the transition to
unversioned emacs. Or be sucked into the briarpatch of maintaining
emacs-goodies-el.
