Nice catch!

This patch looks good to me overall, I'm not a maintainer but I can
review it. See my couple of comments inline.

I agree in general it's good to reuse code, however in this particular
case it's probably better to keep the phases duplicated.  For example,
in the future one could update the emacs-next package to not require a
revision number anymore, and it's likely they'd forget to update the
emacs package since it'll still work.

Does that make sense? It might be just a matter of taste, I don't have a
super strong opinion on this.

nit: This line seems to be a bit long.
