Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs22

The binary package emacs22-bin-common 22.2-0ubuntu8 comes with the
desktop file /usr/share/applications/emacsclient-emacs22.desktop

The file specifies the Exec key with the command:
/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs22 -a emacs22

Running the command yields the error:
/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs22: file name or argument required
Try `/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs22 --help' for more information

The desktop file itself is also confusing because the emacs22 binary
package already comes with the emacs22.desktop file which executes the
command "/usr/bin/emacs22-x"

Also, from the two files' descriptions, which are "Emacs 22 (X11)" and
"Emacs 22 (client)" it's hard to understand the difference between them.
