Thanks! I've committed changes to git changing these to Depends. Also David recommended providing a status update to delay autoremoval due to this bug, so here it is: The resolution of this bug in testing has taken longer than expected because emacsen-common and emacs (unversioned) have not yet migrated. My best guess why is the 'auto-emacs-defaults-rm' transition where the emacs-defaults package will be removed from the archive, and maybe also the removal of src:emacs25. bin:emacs25 is now provided by src:emacs.
