Install emacs:

tips
If you see something like:
W: GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A70DAF536070D3A1
You need to import the public key.See http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt
Sometimes you can download the key and do:
# apt-key add key
See http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml for an example of this.
