[Pkg-emacsen-addons] Bug#799208: dh-elpa should provide substvar for depends field

[Thomas Koch]

Package: dh-elpa
Version: 0.0.4
Severity: normal

I followed the example from the elpa-hello package. Its debian/control does
not list anything in the binary Depends field beside ${misc:Depends}.

So I thought dh-elpa would populate the misc:Depends substvar with a
dependency to emacsen-common and maybe also to a version of emacs.

But all the other packages in the pkg-emacsen git repo on alioth have explicit
dependencies on emacsen-common and a version of emacs.

Shouldn't at least the dependency on emacsen-common be included by
${misc:Depends}? The emacs dependency version might be different for every
package. On the other hand the substvar could be populated with a lower bound,
e.g. emacs >= 24|emacsen.

Greetings,

Thomas Koch
