If you have the package installed, it's probably done by the packaging
system to ensure that the autoload functions are available.
Packages are designed to be available (autoloads only) when they are
installed, IIRC.

Personally, I don't think that having a BBDB-specific autoloads file is
worth the effort, at least on XEmacs.
By default, XEmacs generated auto-autoloads.el files *don't* have this
`already loaded' lossage. I don't know if GNU Emacs supports them,
but if it did...

IIRC, remove the package. I never tried any other configuration, anyway.

religion as well.
