Agreed, I'm completely in favor of following the upstream defaults unless there's some compelling reason not to. I was just trying to determine an appropriate solution, and I didn't want to hold up the initial release to unstable. My current inclination is to do as you suggest and change emacs23 to use --with-x-toolkit=gtk, which is the upstream default. Whether or not we also provide an emacs23-(lucid|athena) package is a separate question. I suppose there may be those that still prefer the older behavior(s) (in particular, perhaps the scrollbars). That alone might or might not be compelling, but it's also been pointed out that there are some unresolved problems with GTK+ and the server mode. So the question is whether or not we think there's enough justification for an additional emacs23-(lucid|athena) package.
