This is more difficult to do than it sounds since all Emacs flavors are built from the same templates, debian/control in particular is generated from a control.in template shared with emacs21 so I cannot change the descriptions very easily right now. I've made a change in patch-25 in my baz archive, the short description of emacs-snapshot now contains '(development snapshot)', which should give the user a clue. The NEWS.Debian file, which should be displayed if the user uses apt-listchanges, gives more information about emacs-snapshot and warns about possible instability. In any case, emacs-snapshot does not make emacs21 unusable and the emacs alternative of emacs-snapshot has a lower priority than emacs21's so the default Emacs will remain emacs21 even if the user installs emacs-snapshot.
