This looks like another instance of dpkg mysteriously failing to write
some Emacs-related files. See bug #582341 for some workarounds and
diagnosis.
If purging, then reinstalling emacsen-common solves this for you, good.
If you can dig into why these missing files were not created, that would
be awesome, but fairly challenging debugging work.
Tentatively marking as affecting emacsen-common and Status: Incomplete
to mark the bug report as pending on feedback from you. Please report
back on whether the workaround helped. Thanks!
** Package changed: emacs23 (Ubuntu) => emacsen-common (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: emacsen-common (Ubuntu)
