The `emacs' metapackage is provided by the emacs21 source package at this time. It should be provided by emacs22 for Lenny. Also, I hope that the team will maintain the emacsen-common package, currently maintained by Rob. Rob, could you please agree on taking over your emacs* packages by the Debian emacsen team (Romain and others, and you if you wish)? To discuss the future of emacs* packages, please join in the debian-emacsen list. Thanks, -- Tatsuya Kinoshita
