Well, the question is whether XEmacs Users in Debian prefer the XEmacs package system or the Debian one.

Me neither, I'm Cc'ing the xemacs21 package to ask the maintainer. What I had in mind when suggesting to configure the auctex package for xemacs, too, was that it would also give the "configure for xemacs" options in AUCTeX more testing, and at the same time fullfill the numerous requests of XEmacs users for a more recent AUCTeX.
