I used Emacs 23 (unicode branch) on Ubuntu (from Dapper to Edgy and then to Feisty) for some time. Just I never use synaptic/apt-get/aptitude to install any Emacs package. I dont want package manager to decide where to put these files, and put many conf files here and there, and another reason is I frequently upgrade Emacs, Gnus etc from cvs source. Dont count on Ubuntu package. Even on Feisty, Emacs 22 has 20060915 cvs source (same as edgy). And it may take several years to see Emacs 23 in package tree. I can not wait.
