I understand your hesitation, but that leaves cruft under
/usr/share/emacs/19.34 if that version has already been purged
and will never be installed again.
It also leaves behind cruft in /usr/share/xemacs20/site-lisp/
for users who have upgraded to xemacs21 and haven't looked back,
or even in /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/ for users who have
tried xemacs and decided to go back to emacs!
