This doesn't answer your question directly, but it may help keep you
up to date without having to wait for deb's:
If you have the a gcc compiler (I use gcc-2.7.2.3, but presumably egcs
would work as well) emacs-20.x is REALLY easy to build for yourself
from the source, which you may get from
<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/emacs-20.4.tar.gz>
Once you untar it (I use tar xzf ...),
just cd to emacs-20.4, then:
   ./configure
   make
   make install
which will install all the emacs goodies into /usr/local/....
You can override /usr/local with --prefix=... at ./configure time.
