In emacs-config: * Because 1.5 got rid of the customizations needed to make MH-E work with the old debathena-nmh package, Conflict with that package so as to force either upgrading to debathena-nmh-config (which is what we Suggest) or punting it entirely.

Replace debathena-nmh with a hard dependency on debathena-nmh-config. debathena-nmh-config is configuration for the upstream nmh package, which is a better solution than keeping the 10-year-old snapshot from debathena-nmh around. Among other things, the upstream package does krb5. This effectively reverts r24091.
