"The relevant information" is indeed there - but there is a subdirectory "emacs" as well as one for the specific flavor (emacs23 in this case). The machinery looks at the directory and thinks "emacs" is one of the flavors that must be handled. So it tries to symlink these files from the flavor specific subdirectories of /etc and /usr/share (which is "emacs" ...) into the generic subdirectory (which is also "emacs").
