There's really no reasonable way to support versions of emacs older than 24 with the elpa based infrastructure. Indeed most emacs addon packages just won't work, never mind packaging issues. I guess a versioned depend on emacs would do the trick to pull in emacs24. If that seems like the right solution, I can have dh-elpa do it automatically. d
