It does exist, in exactly the same way that e.g. mail-transport-agent
does.

That's up to the emacs maintainer, you might want to ask them rather
than us. From memory his plan was to keep 23 as the default in wheezy
even if 24 had entered wheezy as it would be too late to transition all
of the dependent packages; I assume the default wasn't changed in
unstable so that packages didn't get blocked from migrating due to
adding dependencies on emacs24.
