Yes, it should, as emacs23 is the first of the alternative dependencies of emacs and apt(itude) generally prefers that one. But the problem may be that emacs23-nox _also_ provides emacs23 -- it has to do that for the reverse dependencies. IMHO aptitude should prefer the real emacs23 package over a virtual one nonetheless, I have retitled the bug accordingly.
