Something odd is definitely happening.
I don't know if it's related, but I noticed that notmuch-emacs wasn't
installing correctly on my system, and figured out it was because
/var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common was
missing. If you get a chance to check, I wonder if that might be the
case for you too.
So far I haven't figured out how that could happen, and still leave dpkg
thinking everything's fine. If you look in the emacsen-common postinst,
you'll see that it does this right at the end:
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install --postinst emacsen-common
And then in the --postinst case, emacs-package-install does this
unconditionally, right at the end:
ex('touch', "$::installed_package_state_dir/$pkg");
Another mystery -- on my system at that time
/var/lib/emacsen-common/installed-flavors still existed, but was empty.
Assuming the postinst fired at all, I don't know how that file could
still exist (and dpkg be happy).
>From the top of the postinst (right before the call mentioned above):
# Convert installed-flavors to flavor/installed/*.
if test -e /var/lib/emacsen-common/installed-flavors
then
for flavor in $(cat /var/lib/emacsen-common/installed-flavors)
do
touch "/var/lib/emacsen-common/state/flavor/installed/$flavor"
done
rm -f /var/lib/emacsen-common/installed-flavors
fi
If something went wrong there, preventing the rm, I'd expect dpkg to
think that emacsen-common wasn't fully installed.
Thanks for the help

Well, I can totally reproduce it now. Start with a wheezy (stable) system with emacs (23) installed, upgrade to jessie (testing), and then install the haskell-mode. It will not byte compile to the emacs23 flavor. Now, if I remove emacsen-common and reinstall, everything works. I still don't understand what is going on, given that emacsen-common is the same version in wheezy and jessie. I'll keep poking around as I find time... Cheers!

Bug#730329: haskell-mode: fails to load; not byte compiled for emacs flavors
Package: haskell-mode Version: 13.07-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, When I install haskell-mode I find I cannot actually use it. For example, if I try to (require 'haskell-mode) I get: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "haskell-mode") require(haskell-mode) eval((require (quote haskell-mode)) nil) eval-expression((require (quote haskell-mode)) nil) call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil) On debugging a little bit, I find that my load path contains /usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/haskell-mode, but that the directory is not present on my system! Now I've noticed there is no attempt to build haskell-mode for the emacs flavors I have installed (emacs23 and emacs24) when I install it: Unpacking haskell-mode (from .../haskell-mode_13.07-1_all.deb) ... Processing triggers for install-info ... Setting up haskell-mode (13.07-1) ... ~$ So I go ahead and try running the install script by hand: $ sudo /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/haskell-mode emacs24 and sure enough, everything now works! I do the same thing for emacs23 and that works. Also, when I uninstall the package the byte compiled files are not removed. $ update-alternatives --list emacs /usr/bin/emacs23-x /usr/bin/emacs24-x The wheezy package does not seem to have any of these issues. I can install it and things load without any special action by me. Bug? Or is my machine messed up somehow? Let me know if I can help any further, would be happy to try. Cheers!
