Apparently emacs24 isn't quite in testing yet, since it got uploaded again: http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs24/news/20120705T013216Z.html And there are strange things happening, even on i386: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=emacs24&arch=i386 I'm not sure we're going to let any new packages enter testing at this point… Mraw, KiBi.
