Right after starting reportbug:

  Getting status for auctex...
  Verifying package integrity...
  There may be a problem with your installation of auctex;
  the following files appear to be missing or changed:
  debsums: can't open auctex file
  /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/auctex.el (No
  such file or directory)
  debsums: can't open auctex file
  /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/preview/auto.el (No such file or
  directory)

A simpler way to reproduce the problem is just "debsums -s auctex",
which is what reportbug is apparently doing.

Yes, it prompts for a title and a severity, but doesn't start the
editor until it gets Ctrl-C.

Ah - I'd missed that.

No.  I had started the bug report because I had noticed that 

  "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/"

appeared before

  "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/auctex/"

in load-list, so the source files seemed to be hiding the compiled
files.  (A couple of other packages have that problem.)  However, in
the process of filling out the report I discovered that

  "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp/auctex"

appears even earlier, so the compiled files are found after all.
