So, to get emacs-snapshot (aka emacs 22 CVS) on a Debian testing system, put the following in your /etc/apt/conf.d directory (call it something appropriate like 05local, so that it is loaded at an appropriate time) APT::Default-Release "testing"; this will ensure aptitude (or apt) will give preference to packages from testing rather than unstable and stop heaps of packages from getting updated from the unstable repository. Then you need to add an unstable repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list then, to install emacs 22 from unstable, but keep everything else from testing, all you need to do is an aptitude update aptitude install emacs-snapshot and your away. You will then get updated emacs snapshots every week or so as they are updated from CVS. I've been running it for months now and it is very stable - you can even try emacs-snapshot-gtk to get the one built with the gtk widgets (though I don't think it is quite as stable).
