Nice, thanks for the quick fix! Originally I noticed this because of the
emacs-lispy package failing to build. Here's a patch to add
`emacs-swiper` as a dependency to fix it.

I suspect we might need to fix some more, including the few
emacs-counsel-* packages we have. I agree things will be cleaner that
way in the end :-).

Thanks,
Pierre
