>From a packaging point of view, 21.4 (or 22.1) includes the following:
** Leim is now part of the Emacs distribution.
You no longer need to download a separate tarball in order to build
Emacs with Leim.
** The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is now part of the distribution.
** The Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp manual is now part of
the distribution.
** The `emacsserver' program has been removed, replaced with elisp code.
New Lisp packages included with emacs:
dns-mode, flymake, tree-widget, wdired thumbs, python, url, ido, cua,
kmacro, printing, calc, tramp, ruler-mode, ibuffer, table, ses,
syntax, gdb-ui, bindat, buttons, master-mode.
Updated packages: gnus, mh-e.
rmail will use mbox format rather than babyl (not on trunk yet).
Besides, emacs 21.4 can be biult with GTK+ support -- I don't know if
you would want to distribute two versions in Debian (with and without
GTK).
