Hi, Josh, This is mandated by emacsen-common policy, point 5C /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz AFAIR, this is done to ensure that emacsen-common is configured before add-on package is configured. This was discussed in a rather old thread started by https://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2010/07/msg00000.html > dictionaries-common is the only thing on my system pulling in the > emacsen-common machinery, and dictionaries-common is in turn a > dependency of required packages for various other programs. emacsen-common is a rather small package with no dependencies, should not be a big problem, this was considered a reasonable compromise by emacs maintainer.
