OK, that makes sense. Then I suppose that the only place that the dependency ordering is needed is in the calls to the add-on pacakges install scripts that happen en-masse when a flavor of emacs is installed. A little work with tsort (presuming I can get dpkg to cooperate at that point and hand over the relevant Depends lines) and we should have everything fixed up.
