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.

Thanks
