Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../xemacs21-support_21.4.22-12_all.deb ...
  Unpacking xemacs21-support (21.4.22-12) ...

  dpkg: error processing package xemacs21-support (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:

xemacs21-support needs to ship the empty directory /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.22
Ship, don't mkdir!

The maintainer scripts could probably be simplified regarding these symlinks,
but right now I don't have the time to look into this.
Or are the compat symlinks in /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.22 now obsolete?

I'm curious that this didn't show up in my earlier tests I did with my
patch you applied recently. Did something else change in the meantime?

cheers,

Andreas
