Package: xtla
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

        xtla does not follow emacs policy, and that makes it very hard
 to cuild a local version or do NMU's. It requires _every_ _version_ of
 emacsen to be installed before the package can be built, and ships all
 the .elc files for all variants (bloating the package), instead of the
 common practice of compiling on the target machine.

        This, of course, makes it very hard to add/remove new emacsen
 variants; since it is no longer a simple matter of editing a case
 statement in ./debian//emacsen.install/remove.
