Some executables can be provided by two different formulae.
Baptiste Fontaine commented
IIRC in Ubuntu when an executable is available in multiple packages it gives them all, something like:
$ idontexist
The program 'idontexist' is currently not installed. It can be provided by the following packages:
package1
package2
packageN
The current implementation gives only the first package.

Just checked:
The program 'emacs' can be found in the following packages:
* emacs24
* emacs24-nox
* e3
* emacs23
* emacs23-lucid
* emacs23-nox
* emacs24-lucid
* jove
Try: apt-get install <selected package>
