Hi Zack,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

Ack. Can you check if invoking emacsen-install differently, or updating it,
would help?
The postinst should still have
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" =
"abort-deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then
if [ -e /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common
-a -x /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install ] ; then
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install --postinst ess
fi
fi
What happens when you run this, ie 'emacs-package-install --postinst ess' ?
I could (should ?) probably also looking into upgrading ess to an newer-style
package ie 'melpa-ess' ...
