Pre-Depends on emacs21? Re: cedet-common: breaks other packages in batch mode



Bug #270388 regards the cedet-common package breaking emacs -batch.  A
proposed fix in the bug report is for cedet-common to Pre-Depend on emacs21
| emacsen instead of depending on it.

An NMU based on this proposed fix has already been uploaded to the DELAYED
queue by Henning Glawe without first discussing on debian-devel as required
by policy.  I'm therefore posting this message to get a reasonable set of
eyeballs on this issue.

For my part, I think a Pre-Depends here is crude and inappropriate, as other
comments in the log suggest to me that this is a remediable bug in
cedet-common's startup code; but I haven't dug into it far enough to say for
sure.
