Comment 12 for bug 433397

Ouch, that was a surprise.

I've been using Karmic with the "emacs" package and therefore emacs23 for a few weeks, without significant problems (just Emacs quirks which I hope will be tidied up in time).

Today, update-manager tried to install emacs22, which I didn't want.

I appreciate that emacs23 isn't in main, and emacs of course must be. (Since I include universe I hadn't noticed any problems, and just assumed emacs23 was the version to be used in Karmic.)

Nonetheless, the surprise installation of emacs22 was undesired.

Is it possible to have the "emacs" package depend on emacs22 OR emacs23, and prefer emacs22 if neither is installed already, to avoid this?
