You know, I'm betting that the Debian package is pretty much the pure GNU version without much in the way of changes. So, it _probably_ wouldn't be that difficult to build a local .deb package using debhelper. (That's a Silly Wild-Assed Guess on my part, so by all means take it with a suitably-sized grain of salt.) If you then give it a version number that reflects a versioning "epoch" as they say -- e.g., calling your version of emacs22 "emacs22_2:22-1" -- then it won't get replaced by official emacs22 packages, when those come out. -- Cheers, Rick Moen FORTH heart if honk then.
