I made a bit of a mess with respect to the emacs metapackage in unstable and wheezy that I'd like to fix.
The problem is that both emacs23 and emacs24 provide the emacs metapackage, and of course, at DebConf, Adam pointed out that as soon as we need updates to emacs23, we'll have a problem. One plausible solution would be to just move the emacs metapackage to its own emacs-defaults source package (a la gcc-defaults), and so a bit of discussion on IRC produced a plan that I'd like to vet here: - Upload a new emacs23 to for wheezy that doesn't provide the emacs binary. - Upload a new emacs-defaults for wheezy that provides the emacs binary. - Upload a new emacs24 to unstable that doesn't provide the emacs binary. This would require two freeze exceptions, one for the updated emacs23 package, and one for the new (trivial) emacs-defaults package. Please let me know if that sounds reasonable, or if you have some other way you'd rather handle the problem.
