I'd much rather see consistency between the package name and the name of
the primary command delivered by the package. GNU emacs is "emacs",
Xemacs is "xemacs".
As best as I can tell from a quick survey, this also flunks the
"familiarity" test -- package names of "emacs" (without "gnu") and
"xemacs" seem to be the existing practice in linux and *BSD
distributions.
