xemacs21 from Maverick (21.4.22-3ubuntu1) does not fix this bug for me; I assume that's because this ticket is listed as a "Remaining Change" above? Should the status of this bug actually be "Fix Released"?

If the release doesn't fix this then no, the status should be New or Confirmed. If someone else can confirm that this is still an issue in Maverick, please feel free to update the status. I'm setting it to New based on comment #4.

@Adam Seering: The "remaining changes" refers to what changes Ubuntu has made to the package compared to Debian, and they are "remaining" because often an update means a patch which was previously specific to Ubuntu has been accepted upstream and can be removed from Ubuntu. There is a drive to minimize the Ubuntu-specific patches; ideally, if there are none, the Debian package can simply be synced to Ubuntu whenever Debian releases a new version.

I was unable to reproduce this on a Maverick Live CD as of 2010-08-24; I installed xemacs21 (which pulled in emacsen-common libcompfaceg1 xemacs21-basesupport xemacs21-bin xemacs21-mule xemacs21-mulesupport xemacs21-support) version 21.4.22-3.1ubuntu1 just fine.

@Adam Seering: are you still seeing this? Were you upgrading from an earlier version or something?

I am setting the Status of this bug report to Incomplete to signal that work is pending on your input. Please feel free to change the bug report's status back to New once you have supplied the requested information. Thank you.

In fact I am unable to figure out how to reproduce this. I have tried to reproduce on Karmic, Jaunty, Hardy, and when upgrading each of these to Lucid. The fact is that people are still reporting this problem on Lucid systems, so the fix appears not to work, but it would definitely help if somebody could provide repro steps.
