I'm guessing there's been packages removed from Testing for some reason,
because there are several more in Unstable:

xemacs21
xemacs21-basesupport
xemacs21-basesupport-el
xemacs21-bin
xemacs21-gnome-mule
xemacs21-gnome-mule-canna-wnn
xemacs21-gnome-nomule
xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn
xemacs21-mulesupport
xemacs21-mulesupport-el
xemacs21-nomule
xemacs21-support
xemacs21-supportel

The packages you've listed apparently just contain some of the elisp
files.
