I have to admit I didn't find it, too. I downloaded it from Incoming as
while ago. Running dpkg -s xemacs says:

Package: xemacs
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: editors
Maintainer: Prud'homme Christophe <[email-masked]>
Version: 19.13-1
Depends: xlibraries, xpm
Conflicts: elv_ctags
Description: This is the xemacs-19.13 package for debian. Look in /usr/doc/xemacs-19.13/example.emacs as a .emacs example file.

I don't know what happened to it. Does anyone know?

Michael

It is on HOLD. Check Incoming/HOLD

I couldn't find it there, too. Hmm, maybe I should have a close look :-)

Hmm, first think, then check, think again, recheck, and then talk. I checked
and it is NOT in HOLD. Sorry. I don't know where it went.

I've played with packaging Xemacs (the prior package was a.out, BTW),
and once 19.14 is out (which has a supposedly-hard date of 23 June),
I'll look at releasing it.
