Mmmh... How did you compiled/installed emacs-snapshot ?

I used «fakeroot  dpkg-buildpackage» to make the different  .deb then after
installation of  the packages emacs-snapshot  is installed properly  in /usr
tree.

Original  /usr/bin/emacs  /usr/share/emacs...   and  so  on  are  preserved,
emacs-snapshot  installs in  parallel with  genuine emacs.  Thus you  have a
/usr/bin/emacs-snapshot /usr/share/emacs-snapshot...

After that the simpler method  imo would be to «update-alternatives --config
emacs».   You  should   see  your   former  emacs21   and  your   brand  new
emacs-snapshot.

Ugh :/ 
Maybe you  should also take  a look at  /etc/emacs-snapshot/site-start.d/ to
add a 01emacs-snapshot-fixes.el not to modify your own .emacs...

I found these steps in that page :

Look at  the «flavor» fix that must  be added to some  packages, maybe yours
have to too ?
