It works. The XEmacs19 package and Emacs package from unstable (what
will be Debian 2.0) coexist perfectly fine. Until this morning I did
have both of them installed.
If you want to try XEmacs, I'd suggest grabbing that installation
However, XEmacs19 as it currently stands in unstable doesn't work with
the XFree86 3.3 binaries also in unstable. So if you use dselect to
install it via FTP, make certain that you do -not- upgrade your X
packages. XEmacs19 works fine with XFree86 3.2. I'll probably
reinstall XEmacs19 when the onflict between it and X is resolved.

XEmacs is just like Emacs, but a bit prettier, with a few new features,
and only slightly slower.
