Xemacs21 in testing is too old and buggy to support; it's the same version
which was in woody.
Apparently nobody has been able/willing to clear up the RC bugs in the
version in sid. These are:
#206667: FTBFS on m68k
This shouldn't be RC, because xemacs21 has never built on m68k. I don't
know why the "maintainer" hasn't changed its severity
#233790, #233791, #251111, #207412: Installation failures.
#249672: ships info.dir.gz
There have been requests for help to the debian-emacsen mailing list.
The "maintainer" has proved unable to do anything about the bugs.
Myself, I think xemacs21 needs to be removed from testing. (And the
maintainer should be asked to orphan it again, as well.) This situation
with xemacs21 has gone on far too long.
