      It just came out. Short of compiling it from source
      is there a way to getting it done with apt(8)? TIA

        You could keep an eye on repology for when it gets to a distro using .deb files

          Not sure if it would help in the meantime, but it looks like Bullseye has 27.1 in its repos.

            emacs 27.1 is also in the buster-backports repos.
            sudo apt install emacs/buster-backports

              Currently, synaptic offers only emacs-26.1!
              27.1 would get me closer.
              How do I get that to happen Bullseye or the buster-backports?
              TIA

                https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

                Note that you can install EITHER emacs-nox (command line) or emacs-gtk for Emacs 27.1.

                In the past I’ve seen both versions available, but it appears that in this backported implementation you choose one or the other.

                  The backports repos is enabled by default on antiX19, no need to change the repos.

                  I already wrote it above , you can install with the command
                  sudo apt install emacs/buster-backports

                  respectively
                  sudo apt install emacs-nox/buster-backports

                  or for emacs-gtk
                  sudo apt install emacs-gtk/buster-backports

                    I’m logged into the Bullseye build now and as BobC said, emacs 27.1 IS available in Bullseye; otherwise you can get it in the Buster Backports (I did NOT have the repo enabled, hence that’s why I pointed to the backport instructions). Either way, new Emacs 27.1 .deb packages ARE available for either Buster (through the Backports) or Bullseye (in the regular Bullseye repo).
