Too many? Emacs is a complex program, so of course it has a number of
configure options. They all come with a default, so the user only must
specify them if he wants something that differs from it. Isn't it one
of the principles of GNU that "a user who needs changes in the system
will always be free to make them himself"?

Really, there's no need to tell a distro maintainer about different
needs of users. ;-)
