Public bug reported:

In intrepid package bashdb depends on bash (>= 3.1) and emacsen-common.
However, none of the .el scripts in the package seem to be needed for
bashdb to run normally.

I installed the package and deleted the following files:
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/bashdb 
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/bashdb 
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50bashdb.el 
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bashdb/bashdb.el

After that, bashdb still worked as expected. When the scripts are not
needed, emacsen isn't needed as well. Package bashdb should recommend
installation of emacsen-common or emacs but not require its
installation.
