(Background: GNU Emacs upstream doesn't release often. They've been stuck at version 21 for years now. But emacs 22 is now in pretest and is feature-frozen and is stable enough that numerous people now use it for their daily text editing needs. As an example of how stable it is: A very popular GNU Emacs distribution for Windows, called "EmacsW32", is Emacs22-based, not Emacs21-based. Now people have requested, in bug #87901, that the MOTU sync a newer emacs-snapshot from Debian.)
Request: The source package emacs-snapshot is a snapshot of Emacs22. Since Emacs22 is only getting stabler as it approaches release, could you please grant permission for emacs-snapshot to update itself to newer upstream releases over time in the future as Emacs 22 matures further and becomes less and less buggy?
