remove emacs23 during the trusty cycle

[Matthias Klose]

emacs now points to emacs24, and emacs23 should be removed from the archive. Nearly all packages already have alternative dependencies on either emacs24, emacsen, or emacs.

The remaining packages which need fixing the dependencies are:

  egg
  emacs-calfw
  icicles
  psgml
  reportbug (suggests)
  sass-elisp
  wysihtml-el
  yc-el

fixing of build-depends needed in
  asciijump
  debian-policy
  emms
  geiser
  magit
  mozart
  zshdb

It'd be nice to coordinate this with Debian. Are you willing to do that?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Yes please! I've switched over to emacs24 and it's better in so many ways. I'm subscribed to the Debian bug now, so if I have spare cycles <wink> I'll help out over there. I see no reason to keep emacs23 for 14.04.

This issue is about Trusty Tahr, which ended Mainstream support in 2019 and exited ESM in 2021. I vote that we close this issue as WONTFIX (I don't have permission to set a WONTFIX status).
