I believe that's not the core complaint.  If I recall correctly,
packages are required to depend on some combination of
emacsen/emacsXY/xemacsXY, rather than emacsen-common itself.  So that's
a bigger burden unless you create a separate foo-el package.

(See /usr/share/doc/debian-emacs-polcy.gz sections 5 and 6(D) etc.)
