Please stop build-depending on emacs21, since that is an old version and
should be removed some day. In fact, Emacs is only needed to make
`configure' happy, if you specify a dummy "Emacs" for `configure' you
don't need to build-depend on any emacsen at all:

Yes, that works, because the Makefile does not run Emacs when building
the package, and on installation time the emacsen flavor for which bbdb
is to be byte-compiled is used instead of the value that `configure'
puts into the Makefile (tested by building with pdebuild and installing
the modified package on my normal system).
