Can you duplicate the problem without emacs-snapshot? I don't know offhand why it should depend on emacs-snapshot, but formally emacs-snapshot isn't a package in Debian, so not supported. Looking at the hand-rolled install script [1], it looks like you are correct, there is special code to detect vm and mu4e. [1]: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/bbdb3
