Please consider removing the *.el files or adjusting

conflicts.
Hi, Jari,
Note that they are not the same as those shipped by Emacs.
They follow those in FSF Emacs trunk, so they are usually way more recent
than those shipped whith normal Emacs releases. They are also patched to
work with XEmacs and to provide a common interface to *spell to all emacsen
flavours in Debian, with integration of dictionsries system. Currently,
they will even work with emacs21.3 and emacs22. There is a two way
interaction between dictionaries-common and FSF Emacs repo, I sometimes
test things first in Debian before committing to the upstream Emacs repo.
I plan to remove support for emacs21 and emacs22 as soon as squeeze is
released. I would like to commit all XEmacs compatibility stuff to FSF Emacs
bzr repo, to decrease the number of Debian specific stuff, but need first to
remove/adapt all the older emacsen stuff. A further target is to generalize
the steps needed for Debian integration and see if they can also be put
upstream in a reasonable way, so we can get rid of extra {i,fly}spell.el
files in some flavours, but this would make disappear the benefits of using
updated trunk code.
Cheers,
