GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This package contains the architecture independent infrastructure that is not compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. In particular, this includes some of the GNU Emacs info pages, as they are covered under the GFDL, and specify invariant sections. See http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 for more information.
