Well, there is `xemacs-betaname' but I really don't see that being
useful.  Specifically, these things are not going to suddenly switch
back to the old way when the beta gets promoted to stable.

What you want is a version check, such as `(emacs-version>= 21 5)'.

Note that, assuming I understand what you mean by the "package/lisp vs
lisp/package problem", neither test is going to help with that because
you have no place to put that test that will affect XEmacs's behavior
in this respect.
