|  (insert (if (featurep 'xemacs) (event-to-character last-command-event)

What is your point?  The issue is _known_ and _fixed_ upstream. If you look
at upstream's release dates and my packaging you see that usually less than
24 hours pass.

There is nothing to be done here (unless you want to create a patch).  You're
not helping, you are simply shuffling papers and forcing me to do the same,
effectively taking away from packaging (or other) work I could be doing.

If in doubt send an email first.  This is a non bug report and I will close
it now as I may forget whenever I'll upload an upcoming 5.12 release.
