I just dealt with this a week or two back. See, the following directory
exists on my system:
/usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/auctex/
Further confirmation is:
---------
glenstorm@galileo$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/auctex/tex.elc
xemacs20-support: /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/auctex/tex.elc
---------
In short, all of those packages are included in the default xemacs
installation under Debian. Look at /usr/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/<package>
and you'll find most have a README or somesuch. For auc, you just need a
(require 'tex-site)
in your .emacs to activate the built-in auc-tex package. The emacs
packaging in Debian is somewhat more modular, as you have noted -- but
Xemacs under Debian (for better or for worse) fulfills its "editor and
kitchen sink" description.
