The usual thing with auctex would be to prepare an NMU, test it thoroughly, get some feedback and a better package; then upload it to the 10-days delayed queue. The next day, Davide (the so-called maintainer) will show up and say he'll fix it himself soon. About a day before your upload would enter unstable, he'll upload his version with a completely different approach to fixing things. Which might be better or even miss things, but will never be discussed. Or something like this. Still, if you don't prepare an NMU, chances are nothing's going to happen until, err, what's the successor of squeeze going to be called?
