Okay, fair enough.
It would still be nice, though, to have an emacs-xwidgets package.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible to have it built in unstable
from the ‘emacs’ source package, because it would have to migrate
to testing; it's not possible to migrate a subset of binary
packages.
Two options I can think of are:
1. have a separate emacs-xwidgets _source_ package, confined to
unstable.
2. ‘abuse’ the experimental suite, and re-upload there every
unstable version verbatim, with xwidgets support....
2.a: ... in a separate emacs-xwidgets package, OR
2.b: ... in the main emacs package
(2.a) would need checking with ftpmaster, just to be sure they're
okay; (2.b) is simpler but misleading (upgrading from experimental
to a higher version in unstable will _lose_ you features). (1) is
typically frowned upon.
Just to be clear, I can volunteer to make these uploads if needed.
I'm rebuilding form myself anyway.
Cheers,
