Yes, that's intentional. It was too close to the freeze to change the default to emacs24, but I'll eventually upload a new version to unstable that has emacs24 as the default. I think that this is really buggy: users report bugs against emacs (which is in src:emacs24) while these are bugs from src:emacs23.

Which bit is it that you think is buggy? (Just want to make sure I understand your complaint.) The user found a bug in emacs and reported it against the emacs package, which corresponds to the emacs24 source. But the real bug was not in the emacs24 source, but in emacs23. I don't see the point of having emacs from src:emacs24 depending on emacs23. IMHO, you should have kept Package: emacs Source: emacs23 Version: 23.4+1-3 and the emacs24 source shouldn't have an emacs binary package until it is ready to depend on emacs24. -- Vincent Lefèvre vinc...@vinc17.net - Web: http://www.vinc17.net/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.net/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think you're right -- that would have been a better approach. I might attempt this for wheezy, but only if the release team is amenable (assuming they're still willing to consider emacs24 at all, if/when I can track down the i386 build failure).
