Emerald Window Decorator development may have stopped and the package is no longer available in the Ubuntu repositories for a few releases, but there are users who want to continue using it, so to make it easier to install.
Also, please keep in mind that Emerald Window Decorator is no longer developed / supported and while I've tested it for about two days in Ubuntu 13.04 (as well as some brief testing under Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 in VirtualBox) and I didn't encounter any issues, there might be bugs or it may not work at all.
Emerald is available in the main WebUpd8 PPA, which is a general PPA with some other packages as well. If you don't like that, you can compile Emerald from source or add the PPA, install Emerald, then remove the PPA.
