As far as I know, Damien used the packaging I maintain at:

   http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=3Dusers/acid/emacs-snapshot.git;a=3D=
summary

Ok, this claim makes me smile. The actual Debian packaging is not 4900
lines. Sure, the files in debian/ are around that number of lines=E2=80=A6 =
with
a ChangeLog files of 3325. There isn't that much code at all, even the
debian/rules file is only 400 SLOC long.

That said, what's the reason for you not to try to improve the already
existing and working code?

Cheers,
