Package: emacsen-common
Version: 1.4.19
Severity: normal

With emacs20 (and even more so emacs19) still installed, it's very common
for an elisp package to work well with some Emacs flavors but not all.
Byte-compilation is not necessary for packages to work, usually, so
failure to byte-compile a package should simply not be considered as
a failure to install the package.

PS: Of course, all this would be less important if it were easier to tell
APT/DPKG to ignore some script errors.  Currently such errors tend to block
everything, and when they occur in the removal script, it means that the
only way to fix the system is by getting your hands really dirty.
