Recently had this issue in dictionaries-common.

Is emacsen-common version what matters here,

emacsen-common (2.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Complain loudly if an add-on package appears to be broken.  Add
    validate_add_on_pkg() to verify that an add-on package's invocations
    match its "style", and call it from emacs-package-install and
    emacs-package-remove.
  [...]

If you use dh_installemacsen, just need to add something like 

debian/emacsen-compat

containing a plain 0. See emasen-common policy, look for emacsen-common
compatibility level.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
