So it looks like elpa-snakemake depends on the transient package which is currently elpa-transient and in included in emacs 28. So what do you think of this instead? Depends: emacs-el (>= 1:28) | elpa-transient, Good question. Hmm, well, I know nothing about emacs or its packaging. ;-) But if emacs-el (or -common?) bundles extensions (or however you call them), especially ones that were previously packaged separately, it should probably have versioned Provides (and maybe versioned Breaks, too) for them. (Cf. perl, perl-base which does the same.) Not sure whether these should be in -el or -common ... If these Provides were available, elpa-snakemake wouldn't need to know about the packaging details of other packages and could just use Depends: elpa-transient Andreas

Package: elpa-snakemake Version: 2.0.0-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install if emacs 27 (currently still in bookworm) is already installed. As per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for a release, thus the severity. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): Setting up elpa-snakemake (2.0.0-2) ...
