Thanks, I see. I was not aware that one could mix the distributions.
(I understand now that there is nothing like apt-get
-which-distribution)

I thought, if one starts with woody do an say

apt-get -t unstable install xemacs

Debian would not only install xemacs and all the packages which are
necessary to run this xemacs version, but would upgrade the entire
distribution.

I find the  mixture  of distribution a  little  confusing and  may  be
dangerous.   Anyhow  this  is   subject   of an   entirely   different
discussion.
