I'm pretty sure that won't work. As best I remember, gnus byte
compiles differently in emacs and xemacs so the two versions are not
compatible. The xemacs package at debian comes with an older version
of gnus, but it's a piece of cake to download a tarball from gnus.org
and roll your own. There is always a stable release version called
gnus.tar.gz and a development version called something like
ognus.tar.gz or pgnus.tar.gz. They're working backwards through the
alphabet so ognus is newer than pgnus. Kind of like debian stable and
unstable, the stable version is usually quite solid while the
development version may be broken in some fashion on any given day.
