Hello! I'm sorry, but I think this bug should be re-opened. Here why...

Why? I haven't upgraded to the official Debian emacs-snapshot package yet (because of the emacsen dependencies problem for other packages [1]), but manually unpacking the official Debian emacs-snapshot package revealed me that gnus is included in it (which is the same for url, previously externally provided by w3-url-e21). So, the possible solutions could be the following: emacs-snapshot provides gnus, so letting other packages depending on gnus (like gnus-bonus-el) being installed. This is the situation I adopted for my unofficial emacs-snapshot packages [2] (which I stopped to provide as emacs-snapshot entered Debian, thanks Romain). In this case, emacs-snapshot can safely be installed together with gnus (and emacs21, while in case of "conflicts with gnus" this won't be the case). Am I wrong? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca PS, I cced Romain and Manoj to be sure this mail reaches the interested people. I'm sorry if you have double received this mail.
