This is a serious WTF in emacsen-common and/or emacs itself. It’s not
appropriate to add a dependency on emacsen-common just for the sake of
including support for an editor.

The bug (CCed) has been known for 8 years, so I’ll assume it won’t be
fixed and will simply drop emacs support from gtk-doc.
