I have fixed the problem for myself by removing the flim package. I was
unsuccessful in figuring out why flim was installed in the first place, or
what to test to make sure that removing flim hasn't broken anything, but
so far I haven't seen any problems.
The Debian package manager didn't really prevent installation of
emacs-snapshot, it just left it in an "unconfigured" state. Which I
think is the right thing to do.

I had to breathe more frequently (but take smaller breaths), but also
to use all the air I had in reserve, and not mistake the lack of
oxygen for the need to breathe.
