Hi The removal of this package breaks the preview feature in xemacs21, which brings its own autex (/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex in xemacs21-basesupport) but not including preview-latex. Until preview-latex is not included into the xemacs auctex the package should stay.
For me the initial report from Bill Allombert in bug 392863 is not reproducible. I installed preview-latex from stable (into my testing system) which works fine for me. So please reconsider including the preview-latex package from sarge in etch. Thanks Hendrik Naumann -- PGP ID 65C92061
