dlocate sshd shows:
vim-common: /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/sshdconfig.vim
openssh-server: /usr/sbin/sshd
openssh-server: /usr/share/man/man5/sshd_config.5.gz
openssh-server: /usr/share/man/man8/sshd.8.gz
openssh-server: /var/run/sshd
You can also try
aptitude search ssh
It's pretty obvious for me which one to choose. Get debian box and do
man dlocate to learn this wonderful tool.

I don't use emacs, and I don't know exactly what you want, but I suspect 
do
aptitude search emacs
aptitude search xaw
will get you up to the speed. To choose your desktop is exactly what 
Debian is good for. You can do a bare bone install with not even X 
server and then apt-get to your heart's content, with automatic 
dependency resolution and the like.
