Package: emacsen-common
Version: 2.0.7

Even if an add-on package includes a compat file,
"emacs-package-install --preinst <package>" displays an error
message, as follows:

    ERROR: <package> is broken - called emacs-package-install as a new-style 
add-on, but has no compat file.

Because the package will not yet be unpacked when preinst, so the
preinst script cannot rely on any files included in its package.

Do not rely on a compat file when preinst.
