The fine folks at Ubuntu have added a new `emacs-meta' source package to
their distribution which provides empty binary packages `emacs' and
`emacs-nox' that just depend on emacs21 and emacs21-nox:
<URL: ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emacs-meta/>
It allows newbies to just `apt-get install emacs', sparing them the need
to search for a specific flavor.
I think Debian should have something similar, perhaps in emacsen-common.
Opinions?
This is a great thing to have. Maybe this could support Emacs-snapshot as a
suggestion ?
Or even have Emacs-snapashot as the dependance in unstable.
