the files debian/${package}.emacsen-{install,remove} contain shell
script, that probably already switches on "flavour". You can look at the
notmuch source package for an example that ignores emacs21 and 22.
You might (or might not) find the dh-elpa tool interesting; it maintains
these scripts for you, and already ignores emacs23.
