I will be trying them out this week. But first, a suggestion. Currently, emacs and emacs-X11 both provide /usr/bin/emacs.exe. Which means whichever package is installed last wins. I would much rather that you used the 'alternatives' package, and instead of directly providing /usr/bin/emacs.exe, instead provide two differently-named binaries, and use the postinstall script to install symlinked alternatives where the X11 version has a higher default priority, but where the user can use the alternatives package to choose which of the two they prefer. Then, upgrading just the emacs package won't wipe out the emacs-X11 package (which has happened to me in the past). See autoconf for an example of how the alternatives package can let you install symlinks to alternative versions, so that competing packages don't install to the same filename. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
