FWIW, on Debian systems, you can install Emacs-19 to Emacs-24, all at
the same time (tho not, for example, Emacs-24.1 and Emacs-24.3 at the
same time).

I know, because that's what I have ;-)

IIRC I had to fiddle a bit, adding a meta/pseudo package to satisfy
a dependency, but I did that once eons ago and never looked back.
