Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-1
Severity: normal
In sh-mode with font-lock mode double-quoted strings inside a
double-quoted command-substitution is treated as normal text (without
quotes)
To reproduce:
$ emacs /tmp/foobar.sh
M-x sh-mode
M-x font-lock-mode
echo "`echo "foo bar"`"
echo "$(echo "foo bar")"
echo "$(echo "#")"
Especially the last example shows how confusing this can be: the #")"
will be typeset as a comment. Bash, however, will not treat it as a
comment.
This problem doesn't seem to be specific to Debian or this version of
Emacs.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved or closed 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 fixed-upstream years ago, with no recent
input, and are supposed to be fixed in emacs22 at the latest.
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.
