I've finally released the major emacsen-common overhaul I've been promising for a long time.
These changes, which include substantial changes to debian-emacs-policy, remove the requirement that (new-style) add-on packages depend on emacsen in some way. In many cases, this should eliminate the need for most, if not all, of the tiny foo-el packages. If everything works properly, emacsen support can now be added to any package (with no additional dependencies), and it will be activated automatically whenever a flavor of emacs is installed or removed. So for example, it should now be possible to safely move the functionality of gettext-el into gettext itself (if desired). It was my intent to preserve backward compatibility, so existing packages should just continue to work as they always have, but if you want to remove the emacsen dependencies, you'll need to adjust the relevant package(s) to follow the new requirements in debian-emacs-policy. See current /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz for the details, and please let me know if you have any trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if we need adjustments.
