I expect the latter group could largely be satisfied by a guide to
turning off the various new features of emacs 21 that they dislike
(perhaps the debian site file could even have an `emacs20ify' function);
I think the one sticky point is that unless you use `emacs -nw', turning
off the [left] fringe is not entirely equivalent to the old emacs
overflow-indicator column.
