Very great idea indeed, I would then have to choose between emacs23-gtk
and emacs-snapshot because the former conflicts with emacs23.  Please,
no.

In Debian
w3m-el-snapshot Depends emacs | emacs23 | emacs22 | emacs21
If the emacs-snapshot package were to "Provide emacs23" then one
needn't install both emacs-snapshot and emacs23 in order to use the
w3m-el-snapshot package.

Or w3m-el-snapshot could also add a Depend on emacs-snapshot.
