Hell yeah.  Sorry if that wasn't clear.  The first thing I did before
anything else was removing the links by hand (with rm), then I unpacked
the emacsen-common deb, then did dpkg-reconfigure --force -- and the bad
symlinks reappeared.

Looks to me like /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common
is where it happens.  It is probably called with $FLAVOR set in turn to
each file name in /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/flavor/installed, and as
I say in the other subthread, somehow that directory contained a file
"emacs" on my system.
