dist-upgrade doesn't happen automatically. So yes, you can add the
above and then do something like
aptitude update; aptitude install emacs23
If you don't trust APT enough, then you can go the safer/manual route:
wget ..../emacs23_...deb
dpkg --install emacs23_...deb
[ Of course, this may fail, for lack of a dependency, which you'll then
want to wget+dpkg install in the same way, etc... ]
