All very well, but I don't think you've thought through what the
condtion for wanting dpkg-dev-el to be installed is: it's not
"whenever you install dpkg-dev" or "whenever you install an emacs",
but -only- when you install both of these things.
Expressing mere dependency is not a problem. But I want the package
management interface to be able to work out that if I want dpkg-dev
and also an emacs, then I probably also want dpkg-dev-el. That hardly
seems an unreasonable desire to me.
