/etc/X11/app-defaults/Emacs is packaged, but not read by emacs24-gtk3:

$ strace -e trace=file -f -y emacs24-gtk3 2>&1 | fgrep app-defaults

However, it seems to be read by emacs24-athena:

Perhaps, the file should be put into /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/ to be read by all programs. But then it is not editable per-site (by system administrator) contrary to /etc/ configs...

(A side note: I don't think these app-defaults are quite useful; it's more useful to have common X resources in every instance of X server (managed by xrdb) rather than per application, so that remote programs would see the same X resources.)
