Are you volunteering to take on maintainership of emacs23 in Debian? If you are fanatical enough to take on that responsibility, that's odd but terrific; otherwise, I'm afraid there is no simple way to avoid upgrading to a version which is supported by the upstream Emacs maintainers. Expecting the Debian packagers to keep an old version alive without upstream support seems misdirected and wasteful. -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
