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.

Yes, of course... In your opinion, should emacs-goodies-el use hard depends at this time? Also, as a matter of policy, must dummy transitional packages use hard depends? Thus far I have taken the "maximal user liberty" stance of using recommends, because, for example, eproject now depends on helm, and users who dislike helm strongly dislike it and may strongly object to having it as a required dependency of emacs-goodies-el.

Just to be clear, as a package maintainer you may not assume that recommends will be installed. -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thank you for not overriding the default apt behaviour of allowing upgrades to install additional recommended packages. The Debian Emacsen team is in the process of transitioning emacs-goodies-el to a dummy transitional package that depends on a set of elpa-packages, which are more resistant to the type of issue [1] represents.
