I've uploaded auctex_9.8i-1 to master: maybe someone could look at it to
see if I've done things the right way.

I put a note in Description telling XEmacs people they don't need to
install it and compiled things with GNU/Emacs.

I leaved things under /usr/lib/emacs/common.

I think it's the right place as well, so I put auto generated stuff
there.
