Yikes. git does not depend on emacsen, but its postinst contains if test -x /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install; then /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install git fi the theory being, if you have emacs installed, you'd presumably want to have these modules byte-compiled. It sounds like that "text -x" condition is too weak. Does the emacsen policy provide a way to check whether emacsen-common is configured (i.e., ready to be used)? Otherwise, I suppose the .el files will have to move to a separate git-emacs package (which would depend on emacsen-common). Thoughts welcome.
