My impression is that debian's emacs _policy_ is more or less OK, and
it's a good thing they have one, but the last time I bothered to really
look, the code implementing it was a huge mess.  I asked about it then
on debian-emacsen, and the basic response was "we don't really
understand it either".

I hope it's better these days...
