also remove all its reverse dependencies, which is already happening[1].


emacs-common Provides compat-el (versioned), so I my opinion this removal (thread?) is a bug in the autoremoval tooling. (Versioned) Provides is relatively new in Debian, not all tools deal with it in all corner cases. Either somebody finds a fix for the autoremoval tooling or, if we let the removal happen, I expect all dependent packages to migrate straight back after removal.
