Package: org-mode
Version: 6.31a-2
Severity: wishlist

Currently, org-mode depends on an OR-ed list of emacs and xemacs. Such a list
is not satisfiable by installing emacs-snapshot. The net result is that
emacs-snapshot users are forced to install packages like emacs23 (about 80 MBs,
including deps) only because they need org-mode.

I surely understand that emacs-snapshot is not an official package and you owe
nothing to it :-) Still, it would be nice if a solution which makes everybody
happy can be found, also considering that emacs-snapshot, AFAIK, has quite a
lot of users.

At first, I thought depending on "emacsen" instead would solve the issue, but
then I noticed that xemacs*-bin do not provide it (why?). Would it be sensible
to have a dependency like "emacsen | xemacs*-bin " ?

Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.

PS I'm Cc-ing Romain Francoise, as the emacs-snapshot maintainer
