Thank you. This clearly shows that there was no attempt to configure
emacsen-common before giving the error message about a2ps:

Richard, will the files be available constantly at this place? Sometimes
dpkg bugs take long until they are investigated. If not, I suggest that
you post the files to the bug address as attachments.
