The entire xemacs21 package is severely broken on all architectures.
A new maintainer has taken over and should be fixing things.
In the meantime, I'd recommend emacs20, but the -el and binary
packages are out-of-sync (the powerpc build daemon seems hopelessly
confused at the moment), so it probably won't install properly unless
you tell dpkg to ignore the dependencies.
