This is probably the same problem as in #752594. Back then Joachim
suggested writing an autopkgtest, which would make sense as future
changes in ghc-mod and emacs might cause similar problems.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to make a test that covers such
problems, as it would require having every emacs version in the archive
installed in the test system and I'm not sure how to achieve that. Any
ideas?

Sven
