Package: w3m-el
Version: 1.4.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I added emacs-snapshot to debian/control and built the package with
$(fakeroot debian/rules binary), and am comfortably running w3m-el on
a system with neither emacs21 nor xemacs21.

One bug (missing feature, really) that is unlikely to be related, but
worth checking: when I paste unsupported charaters, say U+0086, into
emacs-snapshot (22.0.92.1), it gets transposed to a printable
character like U+2020. This mapping doesn't happen when rendering in
w3m-el. Thus, if I want to see some pages, I'm still better off
GETting them in Icescape and pasting them into emacs.

This may be true of w3m-el on any emacs, but just in case it's related
to some lack of support from emacs 22, I thought I'd mention it here.

Trivial patch to debian/control attached.
