Interesting question, Emacs 26 is what's in the
Debian Buster repos (Debian GNU/Linux 10) so that's
what I have, specifically-specifically version
1:26.1+1-3.2+deb10u1 of the emacs package which
contains Emacs version

  GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of
  2019-09-23, modified by Debian

I don't know, how is one suppose to update it?

Speaking of this, /etc/apt/sources.list don't get
a pretty font-lock anymore. IINM this was once in the
emacs-goodies-el (Debian) pack but that must have
changed since I have it.

nano(1) have this out of the box BTW so I suppose all
things considered Emacs isn't the world's best editor
after all :(
