Yes, but I don't see how emacsen-common could know that, and as far as I understand things, a successful exit from a dpkg run is supposed to indicate that everything's fine. When an add-on package's script fails, as far as emacsen-common knows, something terrible might have happened. But I'll ask around, and see what other maintainers think.
