The emacs packages don't have that functionality (yet?), so I think the best thing for them for now would be to have a dependency on emacs-common instead of emacs or emacs-nox.
Yes; I checked and both emacs and emacs-nox Require: emacs-common so that would work.
Actually, thinking more about it, having a Requires:emacs-common is sub-optimal, as the user who oesn't have any emacs package installed could install the add-on, which would pull in emacs-commonm, but not emacs or emacs-nox.
I will open a bugzilla RFE asking for a virtual Provides: emacs(bin) though for the future, I think that's a good idea.
