If it's a package that we synch from the FSF distribution of GNU
Emacs, that's going to depend on the maintainer. If the maintainer is
not an ISO-8859-1 kinda guy, I would suspect that Mule dependencies
will start crufting on pretty quickly.
For various reasons (including the instability of the API) it's
difficult to try to automatically do something sensible; the only way
is to do the synching manually.
Unfortunately, unless somebody wants to take that on, the likely
result is that the last nomule version will freeze and bitrot.
