On emacs-snapshot-gtk (was: Re: emacs21-bin-common package broken)
Hi,
I am sorry for jumping in this thread a bit late. I hope that this is
still relevant.

If you are an Emacs user and you use unstable, then I would recommend
you to ditch emacs21 and install emacs-snapshot instead. This way, you
will have all the goodies that come with the next version of Emacs (and
I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw).
In my particular case, I'm using emacs-snapshot-gtk, which uses the GTK+
2 widgets, which is simply nice to have without "dissonance" with other
applications.
The emacs-snapshot packages are frequently upgraded and the maintainer
does an outstanding job. Highly recommended.

P.S.: My system is running testing/etch. I make an exception to that
getting packages from sid just to have emacs-snapshot-gtk, since it is
so good, IMVHO.
