Oh no! Use it to till you what options to feed to configure when you
are building the xemacs source ie
./configure --with-sound=none,native '--cflags=-O2 -g -Wall' --with-x11
--extra-verbose --with-site-lisp --prefix=/usr/local
--error-checking=none --debug=no --dynamic --without-postgresql
--with-gpm=no --with-scrollbars=lucid--with-menubars=lucid
--package-path=/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages --with-pop
--mail-locking=flock
or ad libitum

or you can get the latest in an "unofficial"debian package at
