Very interesting (and especially thanks for the reference to
Bug#268466).

I feared the following sequence:

        install emacsen-common
        install git
        remove emacsen-common
        remove git

but it actually works fine --- the install/git and remove/git scripts
do not even run unless there is an emacs variant installed, so all
cases seem to be taken care of.

For now I will be going with a separate git-el package.  In general I
don't like the proliferation of tiny packages but in this case it has
some nice side benefits:

 - avoids complication on systems that do not want the emacs support;

 - gives a chance to point the sysadmin to magit, which she should be
   installing instead :);

 - gives the elisp scripts a separate package name on the BTS (wow, I
   am lazy --- I should be using usertags for that)

Once emacsen-common learns to use triggers, I would like to revisit
this and most likely git-el would be folded back into the main package
then.

Thanks, that was useful.
Jonathan
