This happens regardless of whether emacs-gtk, emacs-lucid or
emacs-nox is used.
This might be the same segfault as bug #1017779, but that bug has
severity normal, while this causes all emacs packages to be unusable
so it should be grave according to the definitions reportbug shows
me, and a new bug is the only way I know to do that.
I tried to downgrade to emacs-common=1:27.1+1-3.1 by pointing to
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20210328T030002Z/
but it looks like that sort of downgrade requires manually chasing
all the dependencies' versions and dates and then finding a snapshot
that has all of them, and I gave up after a few tries.

Yep. It has been made clear by upstream that .el files can no longer be
omitted.
