I don't think this is a good idea.  One of the goals of the package
system should be to maximize the ratio of things that you install that
you want to things that you are forced to install that you don't want.
Most people will probably want emacs or xemacs, but not both.  Forcing
the xemacs users to install emacs seems a bit excessive.
