Bug#429577: #429577: ITP: emacs-snapshot -- The GNU Emacs editor (development snapshot)

Ok.

Ok.

There are not so many changes  and most of them are for debian/copyright
which  is  not  related  to   your  work  on  unversioning  the  emacsXY
package. Would you  mind at least applying the changes  I did which does
not clash with your work?
