Yep, you're right ;-)

_But_ try to do a :

$ dpkg -S xemacs

And you will see all an unnecessary garbage instead of just the
package name from which the xemacs executable has been extracted...

Nevermind, i've resolved the problem :

$ dpkg -S xemacs|grep '/usr/bin/xemacs'
xemacs20-nomule: /usr/bin/xemacs-20.4-nomule

or,

$ dpkg -S as86 |grep `which as86`
bin86: /usr/bin/as86

That's ok for me... Thanks again.
