Note that I'm not an emacs user so I can't tell if the binary works or
not. These are just packaging observations:
- The info pages are still in /usr/info, they should be in /usr/share/info.
- Ditto for /usr/man vs. /usr/share/man.
- Don't supply emacs-ctags. It conflicts with the ctags package which
provides an emacs independent ctags (and etags).
- The emacs-21.2-13.tar.bz2 as well as the emacs-X11/emacs-X11-21.2-13.tar.bz2
provide a /usr/bin/emacs.exe binary. So the emacs packages conflict
with each other.
