Are you byte-compiling this elisp?

AFAIK, you need to depend on emacs itself (and not emacs-common) if you
byte-compile it.  I _think_ stuff can break if you don't, but I'm vague
on why.  Search the debian-emacsen archives.  I split off a package
because of that issue a while back, but the seperate -el package is 62KB.

If the above is correct, then you may bundle your .el file with the main
package without depending on Emacs providing that you don't bye-compile
it.  If it's 4K, it's presumably a very small elisp file anyway.
