I have. Debian's emacs policy is a frequent source of annoyance to
XEmacs. The policy of trying to use a single package to serve both
Emacsen, especially when it's a package we provide but GNU does not,
often results in buggy behavior. I don't know that it can be done
better from Debian's point of view, but from XEmacs's point of view,
"largely solved" is an overstatement.
