Package: emacsen-common
Version: 2.0.8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed mails from apt saying I had some updates to do, so fired up
aptitude and got a conflict.  I suspect that it has long been the case
that

* emacs23 depends on emacs23-bin-common
* emacs23-bin-common depends on emacs23-common
* emacs23-common depends on emacsen-common

It appears that now

* emacsen-common conflicts with emacs23-common

Thus the recent update to emacsen-common's dependencies forces
uninstallation of emacs23, or never update anything again - aptitude
has a conflict to resolve, that it can't resolve without removing the
last usable version of my editor.
