Apparently, in Debian, when both the emacs24 and psgml[1] packages are
installed, psgml will work fine until/unless nxml-mode is invoked.
After that nxml takes over.

In that thread, I said:

  Assuming I understand things correctly, it looks like the defalias was
  an intentional upstream change, so I'm going to be hesitant to adjust it
  just for Debian:

    http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/commitdiff/a37df73784c539f504c9740f7eabd371b4bcd0a7

  Given that, this doesn't seem like a Debian-specific problem, at least
  not yet.  It sounds like something that should be worked out between the
  PSGML and Emacs maintainers.

So I wanted to see what you think about the issue.

Thanks

Already fixed for Emacs 24.4.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2014-05/msg00197.html

BTW, Emacs 24.4 is very close to being released.
Debian is very close to being frozen for the next stable.
I really hope these two things can sync up.

There will be very few changes between
  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-24.3.94.tar.xz
and the actual release, so trying to package that would give you a head
start...

Great.

I'll certainly do what I can once it's out.  We have a week or so before
the release managers will be clamping down even further.  Currently
there's a 10-day propagation delay to testing for all packages, and the
package has to make it into testing by November 5th to make it into
jessie.

And it may still be a difficult proposition, since it'll be a nontrivial
change on very short notice, but once 24.4 is available, I'll talk to
the release managers and see how they'd like to proceed.

Thanks
