My brute-force frontal attack on this seems to have succeeded. I made these
lines in the above noted script:

sub execute {
  my(@cmd) = @_;
  if($dry_run) {
    print join(" ", @cmd) . "\n";
  } else {
    if(system(@cmd) != 0) {
      die "emacs-$action: " . join(" ", @cmd) . " failed";
    }
  }
}

...look like this:

sub execute {
  my(@cmd) = @_;
}

I'm not sure what I removed, but removing it caused things to move forward
apace, and I apparently then succeeded in removing the emacs20 deb package.
