On a freshly installed Intrepid box, I get the same behavior: apt-get
remove emacs removes only the base emacs package, nothing else.
However, this is what I expect from apt-get; with aptitude, the default
is to remove dependent unused packages, whereas with apt-get, it's not
(or at least, used to not be, and seems to continue to be that way).
Indeed, aptitude remove emacs removes all the packages that apt-get
installed.
I would be tempted to mark this bug as "Invalid" (works as designed,
although one could argue about whether the design is good), but leave it
up to the package owner to decide.
