It depends on how much use you make of Emacs specific features. Since
bash has the same cursor movement commands as Emacs those aren't so
important. In terminal line-mode or shell mode you can use M-/
(dabbrev-expand). So, if you're writing a shell script or I have a file
open that contains shell commands you don't need to copy & paste so
much, you can write a few character of the command and complete it with
M-/. If you don't use these facilities though then it's best to xterm
because it does better terminal emulation.

Snapshots are generally not very reliable.

I don't know about Debian. Others have posted about that.
I understand that Debian & Ubuntu are similar though. On Ubuntu there
are things called "PPAs", "personal package archives". People can host
them and put up things they've built. Someone has put up a backport of
Emacs 23.4 which uses the libraries I already have (which avoids the
problem of regular backports which is the huge number of libraries they
drag along). Perhaps something similar is available under Debian.
