Ok. I very seldomly install software from source since every piece
then needs "manual" updating in contrast to Debian's APT binary
packages.

With that in mind, would you recommend me to install the whole thing
(Emacs+Gnus) from source or just pull xml.el (and possibly other
relevant files) and use dpkg-divert to still be able to use updates
from Debian untill xml.el is up to the version needed?

Of course I can make the effort to install from source, and especially
for much-needed software. Reading email would qualify for that. :)

Please advise.
