While I wouldn't add an entire repository from an old version, I don't
see the harm in just installing the dosemu package from an earlier
release. They removed it from debian 10 too, I just grabbed the debian 9
deb and installed it with dpkg.

Of course you could install it from source - but if you do, I'd install
it into it's own prefix, say /opt/dosemu or something, that way you can
easily remove it later if you want to.
