emacsen-common is a light package, it does not pull any emacs stuff. And it is 
harmless.

You apparently misunderstood the bug. I don't want to get into details again, 
but the *only solution* is to depend on emacsen-common, anything else 
potentially breaks _other packages_ and it is not acceptable. And, as I said, 
emacsen-common is a small harmless package anyway.
