I read the man page for suidregister, and it seems to me that when I
purged Emacs19 and Emacs20 (and all related binaries), not
everything was cleaned-up. It also seems to me that this might be a
bug.
Can anyone confirm, or suggest what I did wrong? (I don't think it
will be any problem to correct.)

This was a bug in the way I was calling suidunregister in the emacs20
postinst. I *think* it's fixed in the newer packages. If you have a
reasonably inexpensive net connection, try installing the current
emacs20 and then purging it. If that doesn't fix the problem, let me
know.
Rob,
Sorry I took so long to respond, but my mail system was misconfigured
and I got tired of sending out mail with bad headers (sgore srgore).
I installed and purged emacs20.3-7, and still have the following in
/etc/suid.conf:
emacs /usr/lib/emacs/19.34/i386-debian-linux/movemail root mail 2755
emacs /usr/lib/emacs/20.3/i386-debian-linux-gnu/movemail root mail 2755
I haven't attempted to edit these lines manually, and am willing to leave
them if you need a test case for a fix.
Thanks,
Steve Gore
