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 > To achieve this, I have written all new packaging metadata from > scratch, discarding many years of legacy cruft from the debian build > system (where the debian packaging weighs in at 4900 lines of code, I > have nearly achieved feature parity with only 1495 lines of code). 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?
