My suggestion is just to go with emacs-* rather than emacs-common-*. It is a pretty small change and already quite a number of older elisp packages follow it.
If I understand correctly, this would translate to:
main package: emacs-foo, containing files specific to GNU Emacs sub package: emacs-foo-common, containing files not specific to any Emacs flavour sub-package: xemacs-foo, containing files specific to XEmacs sub-packages: xemacs-foo-el and emacs-foo-el containing the lisp source for each flavour.
This is essentially was my very first original proposal, but people weren't keen on it as it uses the term emacs as a generalization for emacs flavours, and as a specific for GNU Emacs.
I do happen to prefer this though, and tend to agree with Jens. If I recall, at least Tom didn't like it.
