That's due to the install-info transition, you should upgrade xemacs21
to a version >= 21.4.22-2.

... this seems very strance as base-files 5.0.0 should not be shipping
/etc/dpkg/origins/debian at all. Could you check in your logs [0] if you
have upgraded base-files recently? Also output from 'dpkg -l base-files'
would be useful.
[0] /var/log/dpkg.log* and /var/log/aptitude*
