Control: severity -1 serious

Actually he reported it against a wheezy-backport, but in the BTS
instead of the debian-backports ML.
But this issue also affects (potentially partial) dist-upgrades from
Wheezy to Jessie. I ran into this issue with a dist-upgrade yesterday,
causing the switch from emacs23 to emacs24 (via dependency of the
emacs metapackage) and many packages which depend on emacs to fail to
configure. Hence setting the severity to an RC-level.
It likely can be fixed by adding a "Breaks" against the Wheezy
version(*) of apel to the emacs24 set of packages to make
dist-upgrades to Jessie not abort if emacs24 is upgraded before apel.
(*) I'm not sure which change in apel actually fixed the compilation
with emacs24, maybe https://bugs.debian.org/718765
And when we're at it: A similar issue showed up with notmuch-emacs. I
though found no obvious changelog entry in notmuch's changelog
either. The latest changelog entry talks about "Emacs 24.4 related bug
fixes", so maybe "Breaks: notmuch-emacs (<< 0.18.2-1~)" would help
there, too.
Regards, Axel
