There is a patch available for that version, but I can send you unofficial versions of 23.4 or even 24.1, until it builds properly on the buildds. > I would appreciate some advice on what to do next.

I'm one if the people working on that (help wanted). Additionally, I think debian-h...@list.debian.org would be a better mailing list to use, since emacs 23.4 and 24.1 builds OK from upstream tarballs, but not the Debian packages.
