What up with emacs-extra?

[David Bush]

Hi there.

When I run Aptitude under Kubuntu 8.04, it lists the package 
emacs-extra. Its description is "very long description to put here." I 
installed it and all it did as far as I could tell was to turn my emacs 
display to white text on black, even though I invoked the -fg and -bg 
options on the command line to black on cornsilk1. I removed the 
package.

Is emacs-extra supposed to do anything useful?

Thanks for your time.
