For the very latest Emacs version, yes, but that's not
difficult to do if you'd like to do it. [1]
But there is also the backport solution [2] where you'd get
the Emacs version that will appear in the next Debian release,
now the testing one, compiled for Debian stable. This will
perhaps not be the very latest version, but more recent than
what you get with stable.
Third option, you can also manipulate the apt system manually,
if you find a source that provides the latest Emacs with that
method. I've done this for mpv [3] with help from Dutch
friends. [4] Maybe they offer the same for Emacs, no idea,
I'll CC and ask.

I did four and they are all in stable.
