This is a bug, so please file a bug report against emacs.
The policy concerning /usr/local has been changed. The package may create
empty directories below /usr/local, but it must not fail if this is
impossible (because /usr/local is mounted read-only).
This new policy already described in the draft version 2.2.0.0, which will
become "official" in the next few days. You can have a look at it via
http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-policy/draft/ch3.html#s3.1
Feel free to ask, if you need more info.
Thanks,
Chris
