Source: hkl
Version: 5.0.0.2173-2
Severity: important
User: debian-emacsen at lists.debian.org
Usertags: emacs24-removal

Dear maintainer,

Your package has a dependency and/or build dependency on emacs24, which will
shortly be removed from the archive.  Please update the package to depend on
emacs25 instead.

I have prepared an NMU of your package and will momentarily upload it to
DELAYED/5.  Please let me know if I should delay it further.  An nmudiff will
follow-up this bug.

If this package need not build for xemacs, please also consider transitioning
the package to build using dh-elpa.  This will also avoid future bugs like this
one, since the Emacs major version is updated once, centrally, in dh-elpa.

Once the emacs24 removal process starts, this bug will be upgraded to RC
severity.

Thanks!
