Debian dropped their numbered packages to avoid bug reports for very old versions of Emacs, see e.g.: "plans to finally drop our emacsXY binary packages, and just have a single version of Emacs in the archive, so that we no longer have to deal with bugs due to someone still having emacs21 installed (David=E2=80=99s idea; Rob=E2=80=99s implementation; Sean=E2=80=99s mos= tly-helpful comments)" https://spwhitton.name/blog/entry/debconf17_reports/
