 Is XEmacs even still available in Wheezy?

It's still in stable and unstable but some dependencies nonsense has
killed it from testing.  I thought that might get better by itself
before long but it didn't and then I forgot.

It would be helpful if you could exclude xemacs21 in the
emacsen-install, for those using unstable or who simply still have it
installed.

(I've thought it could be good if elisp add-ons had some sort of scheme
of use it if the byte compile works so as not to have to address such
things manually.  List flavours which should work and exclude some
which definitely no work, and everything else try it but no error if
it doesn't work.)
