The reason is that the emacs maintainers wanted to have emacs25 in
stretch, but did not manage to fix all the rc bugs in some
emacs25-related packages in time for the release, so eventually they
decided to skip both emacs24 and emacs25. There was also a ML thread
somewhere about that.

This sucks a bit, but still....
