Just to be sure I understand... emacs20 has to be configured before
cvs-pcl is _installed_ or before cvs-pcl is _configured_?

Since you're unfamiliar with pkg-order, it sounds like starting to use
it could be a source of other problems. I'd rather avoid that.
What is the fix if it breaks? Can somebody just do
dpkg --configure emacs20 cvs-pcl
once the rest of the install is finished?
