This is not about a package not working with some older Emacs version.
It's about failure of *installation*, more specifically a failure which is
a pain in the rear to circumvent. In all cases I've ever seen, the
package is still perfectly usable after circumventing this
installation problem.
And even if that package doesn't work with emacs19, who cares?
I should still be able to install it, in case I want to use it with emacs23.
A warning/message about the problem is fine, but an error that prevents
aptitude from doing its job is really mean.
