Package: vm
Version: 7.19-3
Severity: normal

I can see no obvious reason why vm should not / could not be used together
with XEmacs under Debian.  In fact, I have used that combination for years.

But right now, it requires activation of the xemacs21 compilation in the vm
emacsen script:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep xemacs /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/vm
    xemacs21|emacs20|emacs21|emacs-snapshot)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>

Please add xemacs21 as I did manually here. AFAICT there is no good reason
not to -- inclusion of vm in XEmacs itself is spurious as there may well be
version skew as is the case with other included packages that are also
available individually in Debian.  

And including support for XEmacs gives the choice to 'our users'. After all,
that is our priority, right? ;-)

Thanks, Dirk
