Same here.  From my sources.list:

# Peardrop repository - Support for XFT Emacs
# Get the GPG Key with:
# wget http://debs.peadrop.com/DD385D79.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

deb http://debs.peadrop.com edgy backports
deb-src http://debs.peadrop.com edgy backports

The XFT support was what finally made me abandon XEmacs and switch to
this plain Emacs.  The hideous old-style X fonts of XEmacs were really
beginning to grate me, and with the  newest distributions, less and
less fonts were of that kind, so it was actually getting worse in
*absolute* terms (not just relative to the nice modern fonts in all
other apps).

After a couple of hours fixing my .emacs config, I'm happy as a clam
and haven't had any real stability problems at all.

Cheers,
