I'm not sure I see the whole picture yet, but I guess that

     1) elpa-f in stretch depends on s-el (instead of elpa-s)
     2) elpa-vimish-fold in buster is a new style dh_elpa using package
     that only looks at elpa packages for depends.

Maybe an explicit depends on elpa-s by elpa-vimish-fold would help?
