It's in the main repository, includes the files emacs-[1-8].gz, and its .../copyright file says it's under the GFDL. Searching the Manual reveals the only occurrences of the word `invariant' are in the GFDL's text itself. Could the absence of invariant sections render it DFSG-free, with the changes made since emacs21? Tyler, you might want to try emacs-snapshot. I've been following it (and unstable) for months now, and have had no problems other than emacs's icon disappearing every so often. At a minimum, installing emacs-snapshot-common will get you the manual The Debian Way. Its direct dependencies are o dpkg (>=1.9.0) and o emacsen-common (>=1.4.10) If your installation is OK with these (and whatever they drag in) ``apt-get install emacs-snapshot-common'' should do it.
