Emacs 19 has been removed from Debian unstable a while ago; however, many bugs are still open. Someone has to go through the bug list, check if the errors apply to Emacs 20 and then either reassign the bug to emacs20 or close it with a note saying to switch to Emacs 20. Since I don't use Emacs, I'm asking here for help. Below is a listing of all bugs -- or simply check out http://bugs.debian.org/emacs19
If someone could do that, I'd appreciate it; just reply and say you're working on it.
