Package: emacs21-el
Version: 21.3+1-9
Severity: minor
The latex-find-indent function has a small(ish) bug where, in some
situations, it manages to pass nil to char-syntax. This causes an error
message to flash in the echo area and is, on the whole, more distracting
than harmful (it might, opssibly, affect keyboard macros, untested).
A simple, though possibly incorrect, fix is:

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as unreproducible or fixed upstream years ago.
Please comment if you want think that some of the raised questions are
still pending and need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned
to other packages, etc.).
Cheers.
