Thanks David,

this is actually a much better idea, rather than Pre-Depends.  Next
upload I will implement it.

Meanwhile, I found out this way we really solved an orthogonal bug: the
Debconf warning is still there (apt-get install auctex in a minimal sid
chroot, 11.83-1+ has GS=gs into the emacsen install script):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[...]

Setting up emacs21 (21.4a-6) ...
emacs-install emacs21
install/auctex: Setting up for emacs21... done.
auctex: Debconf passed unknown value `10 auctex/doauto doesn't exist'.

[...]

Setting up auctex (11.83-1+) ...
install/auctex: Setting up for emacs21... done.
update-auctex-elisp[2796]: Further output will appear in: 
/tmp/update-auctex-elisp.Uin1412.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think #370659 is due to auctex configure script not being called
before its emacsen install script.  I need to think a bit more about the
best way to solve the issue.
