More explicitly,
xemacs --> depends on/requires --> xemacs-emacs-common
and
emacs --> depends on/requires --> xemacs-emacs-common
It might be clearer if 'xemacs-emacs-common' was renamed using the
plural for
emacs, that is, 'emacsen-common'. Also, I'm not sure that the package
should have the same version number ('21.5.28.3') as xemacs. That
versioning
suggests that it is a part of xemacs when it is shared by both emacs and
xemacs.
