Package: dh-elpa Version: 1.8 Severity: normal dh-elpa supplies emacsen-common install and remove scripts that hardcode the list of emacs flavors to skip as obsolete (GNU Emacs 23 and below) or simply unsupported (XEmacs). This one-size-fits-all approach has two drawbacks: - It does not fully accommodate packages that have retained compatibility with some or all of the skipped flavors. - It forces packages that are compatible only with Emacs 25 to declare outright conflicts with Emacs 24, rather than simply skipping byte-compilation for it.
I find the latter particularly concerning, because the former is easier to work around. (Yes, I do prefer Emacs 25 myself, but I keep a full range of Emacs flavors installed for compatibility testing.) Please give packages an opportunity to tune the set of flavors to skip, and then use this feature to retire elpa-apiwrap's, elpa-ghub(+)'s, and elpa-magithub's conflicts with Emacs 24.
