Right, with the current infrastructure and the current policy (see /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz), there are required dependencies (among other things). I started working on an overhaul last year that would alleviate possibly *all* the required dependencies, but for now, any package must add them -- hence the presence of all of the foo-el packages. (Now that squeeze is out, I'm planning to pick that work back up in a month or so.)
