I think it's the same problem as with any other emulator package, that nothing useful can be done with the emulator itself, and there is no dosemu compatible software in main, so it effectively requires a package outside of main in order to be useful. I agree that according to the letter of policy it should be in main and so should any other platform emulator. -- Ryan C. Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
