You're right about renaming the xemacs subpackage; the naming guidelines have
changed since this review started.

Unfortunately my testing infrastructure has changed as well, and I'm now doing a
proper rpmlint on the installed package, which turns up an additional category
of problems.

Firstly there's this warning about the srpm which I don't really have a problem
with:
   W: aplus-fsf setup-not-quiet
It wants you to use "-q" on the %setup line.

Then there's three no-documentation warnings, which are OK:
   W: fonts-truetype-apl no-documentation
   W: fonts-x11-apl no-documentation
   W: xemacs-aplus-fsf no-documentation

And finally there are nearly 3800 undefined-non-weak-symbol warnings, of the form:
   W: aplus-fsf undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib64/libesf-4.20.2.so P1
   W: aplus-fsf undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib64/libesf-4.20.2.so APL
I will attach a full list, or you can just run "rpmlint aplus-fsf" with the
package already installed.  It looks like the libraries themselves are merely
compiled but not linked against each other; the loading program has to be set up
to link in all of the necessary libraries in the proper order.  It seems this
not allowed in Fedora, but I'm not sure how reasonable it is to fix it.  I'm
asking around to find how strong the prohibition is.
