Actually, I believe the policy is that if it doesn't qualify as an SRU
and is not present in emacs23, it can be closed with the appropriate
message.  If it is present in emacs23 and doesn't qualify for an SRU,
the package can just be changed.  If it's present in emacs23 and
qualifies for an SRU, a second task should be opened for emacs23.
