Just to confirm, is your emacs25 a transitional package to
emacs (unversioned)?

I wonder why only
/usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/align-string.el was
missing? Kudos for the proactive workaround :-) In response to this
bug I'm trying to determine if a maintscript is necessary to prevent
others from encountering this issue. P.S, a Debian Emacsen team
goal for buster is for emacs-goodies-el to become a documentation-only
transitional package.

This seems a bit strange. emacs25/25.2+1-8 is in sid, and I believe
that's the version where emacs was unversioned and where emacs25
became a dummy transitional package. 25.2+1-6 is in buster. Was
25.2+1-6+b3 from experimental? In sid, emacs has 1:25.2+1-8 and not
version 47.0 (also from buster).

When were these elpa-packages marked for purging? By aptitude before
applying the upgrade? When it becomes a true dummy transition
package, emacs-goodies-el should change these recommends to hard
depends, because these are modes and libraries that goodies used to
provide, and hard depends are part of the dummy transition package
definition.
Once again, thank you very much for this report. Once we figure out
how to reproduce it I'll get to work on a fix.
I've tested the following:
Sid: emacs-goodies-el 38.0 to 40.0 succeeded
emacs-goodies-el 39.0 to 40.0 succeeded
- note, I did not test a simultaneous emacs25-to-emacs (unversioned)
Stretch: installed emacs-nox (uses emacs24-nox)
installed emacs-goodies-el
modified /etc/apt/sources.list and ran dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade succeeded
emacs-goodies-el 36.3+nmu1 to 40.0 succeeded
simultaneous emacs24-nox to emacs-nox (unversioned) succeeded
Stretch: installed emacs25-nox directly
installed emacs-goodies-el
modified /etc/apt/sources.list and ran dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade succeeded
emacs-goodies-el 36.3+nmu1 to 40.0 succeeded
simultaneous emacs25-nox to emacs-nox (unversioned) succeeded
