# When emacsen-common and add-ons are upgrading simultaneously,
# emacsen-common can be unpacked but not configured when an add-on's
# prerm runs. That causes the add-on's removal command to be skipped,
# which is wrong and can cause the upgrade to fail. For example
# https://bugs.debian.org/1106291
#
# For now, to ensure the removal commands are still run, remove all
# emacs flavors here, keeping track of which flavors are actually
# still installed in pending, and then restore them from the postinst,
# when emacsen-common is ready again.
#
# Normally, it would be unsafe to depend on emacsen-common files like
# this in the preinst, but our assumption for this mitigation is that
# since emacs flavors depend on emacsen-common and since they should
# have a installed/FLAVOR file if and only if they're "ready to go"
# (i.e. via their postinst configure), then the emacs-remove script
# will be available inside the loop.
