Hi, Ian. 
The last Ubuntu emacs-snapshot was built 6 days ago, and it is now kept up to 
date, and is also being worked on in Debian-unstable.
http://emacs.naquadah.org/
I did some searching a few days ago and some listserv claimed that "snapshot" 
is slightly different from the general EMACS and is not just an early snapshot 
of the general EMACS.
