For what it's worth, in X, both Emacs and emacs are valid, but they mean
different things. From X(1):
RESOURCES
... At the top level is the class and instance name of the
application itself. By convention, the class name of the applica‐
tion is the same as the program name, but with the first letter
capitalized (e.g. Bitmap or Emacs) although some programs that begin
with the letter ``x'' also capitalize the sec‐ ond letter for
historical reasons.
I believe "Emacs" indicates the class, and so refers to all invocations,
while "emacs" indicates the program name -- as the application was
launched.
I haven't tested, but I suspect that in Debian, since /usr/bin/emacs is
an alternatives symlink, the actual program name may be emacs23-x or
emacs23-nox rather than emacs. So you might need:
emacs23-x*keyword:value
and
Emacs*keyword:value
