I have

ii  emacs-snapshot              20060315-1                  The GNU Emacs editor (development snapshot)
ii  emacs-snapshot-bin-common   20060315-1                  The GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture dependent files
ii  emacs-snapshot-common       20060315-1                  The GNU Emacs editor's common infrastructure
ii  emacs-snapshot-el           20060315-1                  GNU Emacs LISP (.el) files

ii  ess            5.2.12-1       Emacs statistics mode, supporting R,S and o
