That's the key question -- how did you end up with a symlink there?
/etc/emacs23 is owned by emacs23-common, where it's just a common file:

  $ dpkg --contents emacs23-common_23.4+1-4_all.deb | grep etc/emacs23
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2012-09-08 15:38 ./etc/emacs23/
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2012-09-08 15:38 ./etc/emacs23/site-start.d/

If you think you did make it a symlink, then "don't do that".  If not,
we'll need to investigate further.

Thanks for the help.
