emacs-snapshot remains to track the HEAD branch and is updated every 2-3
weeks in Romains repository. He updates it in his private debian repo,
and also uploads to the ubuntu-elisp PPA. We can argue that we should
provide emacs-snapshot only from the ~elisp PPA, though.

As for the released versions of emacs, I really think we should go with
emacs22 and emacs23. Having emacs-snapshot wouldn't hurt IMO. We do the
same with gcc-snapshot after all.
