I dumped the debian emacs because of some issues with info files.  This
seemed a good moment to move to emacs 23 and I used git to access it.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs.git

It also meant various packages like emacs-goodies were no longer
installable but things were easily down loadable.

Works well for me : good luck,

richard.
