Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.20.5
Severity: serious
Justification: upgrade failure

I attempted to upgrade my system to dictionaries-common 1.20.5 but the
preinst failed because I do not have emacsen-common installed. Either
emacsen-common needs to be a pre-dependency or the preinst should check
for emacs-package-install before using it, probably the latter is best.
