That would work also, but in the event further updates are needed for trixie, it makes sense to start a branch debian/trixie now (even though we will upload to unstable). >> I wasn't able to satisfactorially test this fix so far in trixie; I >> guess I should setup a bookworm container/VM.

I think that in order to get the release team to allow a freeze exception, we'll need to have a way to trigger the problem in (upgrading to) current trixie. It isn't clear to me what guarantees we have about ordering, but I guess to manifest this bug we would need the postinst of elpa-foo to run before the preinst of emacsen-common. None of this is to say the bug shouldn't be fixed; I'm only checking whether it needs to be fixed for trixie, or at least that the risk of triggering the bug outweighs the risk of a change during the freeze.
