Perhaps I'm misunderstanding that...

Not here...
bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1811332 Dec 18 1999 /usr/bin/emacs

Not here either...
bash-2.03$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/emacs
ls: /etc/alternatives/emacs: No such file or directory

And of course, this won't work, since there's nothing emacs related on my
system, according to dpkg and apt, of course. Somehow, emacs slipped on --
and it must have been Debian related, since it shows up in the Gnome menu...
If I blow it away, what else is related? Just .el files? I'm really
messing up my database here, aren't I?
