Emanuel, please check your facts. Debian stable, aka bullseye has
Emacs 27.1; soon-to-be-stable,aka bookworm has 28.2 [1].

It's not that hard.

Debian is known for not being bleeding edge, and it has good reasons
for that (that's one of the things I actually appreciate in Debian).

But it is't "vintage", either.

Cheers
