At the end of this posting is the contents of the emacs-extra changelog.

In response to the postings about lack of any upstream package:-
   A good portion of what is in Ubuntu comes from upstream debian and there
is a close relationship there, however, that does not prevent Ubuntu having its
own packages and anything that is seen to add value to Ubuntu can be
included that way.
To clarify: Checking the QA of debian is worthwhile for most packages but in 
this
case, what it tells you is that what you are looking at is an Ubuntu maintained
package rather than some other interpretation you might make.

This package emacs-extra is not like the large, regularly changing system 
packages that
you might be used to reading changelogs for. It does not have to be updated 
because glibc or gnome
or kde change - as lots of other packages do.
It is really just a collection of useful add on scripts for emacs conveniently 
packaged that is all.
So a gap of several years in the changelog in this case just means that perhaps 
no 'high' priority
bugs have been squashed and nothing is seriously broken. 

This bug is now priority 'medium' as of 2009 so hopefully it will get
some attention.
