Well I don't like "emacsen" either...

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.

IMHO it is too verbose and it makes it hard to read and find emacs packages.

the naming convention.
