Looking at it now, it confirms to me that it's not of interest to me. It

editors, and indeed other note programs. If you're used to it already, then
great, but I don't see the value.

That wasn't for emacs - I was just using checkinstall as an example of
things that I've been told are "easy". I'm using Crunchbang 8.10 (Ubuntu
with a lightweight Openbox desktop, including some LXDE components).
