Just install it in the /usr/local/-hierarchy and the GNU Emacs in the
regular way. You can extract the *.tar.gz files from the xemacs*.deb
files with: "ar p package_name.deb data.tar.gz > package_name.tar.gz"
and install them manually. I did it this way here and it works. But i
don't know for sure what the conflicts between the two packages might
be because i prefer usually GNU Emacs and therefore haven't used
XEmacs very seriously. I'll probably deinstall it anyway to regain
place on my hard disk...
