Heh, well that's a touch embarrassing.
Perhaps I was remembering something that's long been obviated, or just
misremebering entirely.
Oh, maybe I was just conflating the rule (there was one, right?) that
prevented a binary package from replacing a virtual package (i.e. we had
to wait for a while before we could have emacs-defaults provide an emacs
package).
Regardless, it sounds like maybe dh-elpa can just depend on emacs25 and
forget about it? I'm guessing any variant should be fine for its
build-time needs.
Thanks
