I don't recall the exact logic behind that line.  It's basically saying
that you need the gnus package unless you have emacs23 or xemacs21.

You don't want the gnus package?

What I'm trying to avoid if having a stable Debian release with a
dependency on a package that doesn't exist.

Also, couldn't emacs-snapshot provide emacs23?

Lastly, I'm surprised that _anyone_ is using gnus-bonus-el.  It's not
too buggy to use?  I don't use gnus and have tried to recruit people to
maintain it for years without success.  I was _this_ close to dropping
it from Debian altogether...
