OK, there was a line for emacs.  I removed it.
Now there is no "current" revision level shown; however, Setup still 
proposes updating the package.  It is also shown, correctly, on the "not 
installed" panel.  This occurs both for "latest" and "test" selections.

While I was there, I added lines for gcc-core and gcc-testsuite so they 
no longer show as "not installed."
