Try `apt-cache search emacs | less`.

This should give you a boat-load of results for emacs. One of which was 
'emacs21'.

Install that package with `apt-get install emacs21`.

I'm using the debian repositories so your results may vary.

If you are also using the debian repositories, you can search for 
packages via the debin home page:
  http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
