Package: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.6-8woody2
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole

Essence:
/usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp

I belive it has to be 
/usr/share/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp
     ~~~~~

I am not sure about the severity; since the new version does not
install, IMHO the security problem is still present.

This is not a local problem, it happens on another alpha running
stable in another work group as well.
