Herr Dietrich, emacsen-common is a tiny helper package that is mainly used to provide support for various plugin modes for the emacsen editors. It's a 17kb standalone package and doesn't depend on any emacs editors. So, if you are not using emacs 17kb is all the space you loose on your multi Gb drive. This package is a necessary dependency for pydb because it is needed to install pydb.el - an emacs mode shipped with the package. See bug report #399944 for the reason why emacsen-common was needed. I am going to close your bug report as the presence of emacsen-common dependency is not a bug, but a feature required for functionality needed by other users of the pydb package. Gruesse, Alex.
