Ok, I think we should release soon. It would probably be prudent if Reiner was able to prebuild a snapshot XEmacs package so that people could test it out in advance.
Other stuff that remains to be done is applying the GNU FDL to the documentation. Weirdly enough, all the existing fdl.texi templates still have the old FSF address. I am currently communicating with RMS in order to get that sorted out. I am also trying to get a hang about how to deal with GNU maintainer guidelines and DFSG. I'll have to decide this more or less on my own according to how I interpret the guidelines, and it may or may not result in the AUCTeX manuals ending up in Debian nonfree instead of main, depending on whether the Debian maintainers choose to judge the standard GNU front and back cover texts (short blurbs) as constituting non-freedom. Personally, I consider the few words nothing worth of calling nonfree (since they basically affect only mass printed copies, something which is not even possible with the "free" labelled GPL, and contain basically pretty much nothing that would not also be in the copyright notice and/or license text, which is unremovable by law, anyway). But it is pretty clear that we can't expect to get away with fewer problems than other GNU projects.
