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 should also point out that the above proposal doesn't treat GNU
Emacs and XEmacs on an equal footing  - the XEmacs package being a sub
package and the GNU Emacs package being the main package. The current
emacs-common-foo scheme does not have that bias.
