Package: dh-elpa
Version: 1.8
Severity: normal
dh-elpa supplies emacsen-common install and remove scripts that
hardcode the list of emacs flavors to skip as obsolete (GNU Emacs 23
and below) or simply unsupported (XEmacs). This one-size-fits-all
approach has two drawbacks:
- It does not fully accommodate packages that have retained
compatibility with some or all of the skipped flavors.
- It forces packages that are compatible only with Emacs 25 to
declare outright conflicts with Emacs 24, rather than simply
skipping byte-compilation for it.
I find the latter particularly concerning, because the former is
easier to work around. (Yes, I do prefer Emacs 25 myself, but I keep
a full range of Emacs flavors installed for compatibility testing.)
Please give packages an opportunity to tune the set of flavors to
skip, and then use this feature to retire elpa-apiwrap's,
elpa-ghub(+)'s, and elpa-magithub's conflicts with Emacs 24.
Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me. Let's close it for now.
