Er, I think Guilherme may just be asking for a backport, and
wheezy-backports *is* open for uploads for packages that will almost
certainly be in jessie. At least at first glance, emacs24 would seem to
qualify, if someone felt like doing the work.
So I think this is a reasonable request, although I don't know if anyone
has the time to work on it right now.
Note, though, that emacs24 has all sorts of possible implications for
other elisp packages, so it may be a touch difficult to use a backport
effectively.
