Yes, that's the name.

More generally speaking: there is a package emacs23 in Debian sid. Shall
jump into Ubuntu karmic soon (I guess). With this, you can install

# sudo apt-get build-dep emacs23

Manually, you can check all dependencies at
<http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/emacs23>.

Best regards, Michael.
