emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb has a dependency on ncurses-base, or so the
Package Manager says.

I don't have the resources to build Emacs from source (my desktop
machine is old and slow, and it would undoubtedly involve installing a
large toolchain and lots of additional packages for which I have no
space). Alas...I wish :-)

I managed to find a working copy, and it all installed nicely.
I used apt-get install ncurses and it found a copy in Lithuania.
Next task: try to install the x-ified version emacs_22.1-1_armel-x.deb
and see if I can get it to run in fullscreen...
