Using AUCTeX with XEmacs is a mess, Debian or not. It's a nice
coincidence that the preview-latex package in sarge and the auctex
delivered with XEmacs in testing are approximately of the same age and
work together. But it's only a coincidence.
I fear nobody wants to maintain a "preview-latex-obsolete" Debian
package for XEmacs users, in particular since XEmacs has its own
packaging system which allows to get an updated AUCTeX (with
preview-latex) AFAIK.
