Subject: Problem with new cl-lib 0.6 in ELPA

The new cl-lib version now declares a package dependency on Emacs 21, which
actually renders it completely uninstallable in Emacs < 24, since the only
versions of package.el usable in Emacs 23.x have no concept of built-in
packages like "emacs".
This is going to make a huge number of packages uninstallable for users of
those older Emacs versions. Could someone fix this please? (Incidentally,
my fledgling package-lint.el detects some potential issues like this.)
Cheers, and Happy New Year to all!
