But yes, if for some reason you need/want to depend/recommend emacs, you will have to update those package names. By the way, since you (the maintainer) don't support xemacs, you should consider using the helper dh-elpa which simplifies some gnu-emacs-addon packaging issues. In particular it means you don't have to maintain your own emacsen-{install,compat,remove,startup} files I'm bumping the severity because it means auctex is unusable by emacs-lucid (and probably emacs-nox) users.
