But if preview-latex-style depends on tl-latex-base,
It doesn't, really. It makes little enough sense without it, but there is nothing that it would actually load or use. AUCTeX can support either LaTeX, plain TeX, ConTeXt, Texinfo, AMSTeX. For its support of LaTeX, it needs preview-latex-style. So, uh, AUCTeX depends on preview-latex-style iff tl-latex-base is installed. Or something like that.

AUCTeX can be used not just for LaTeX, though _iff_ you have LaTeX installed, it would be somewhat surprising not to use AUCTeX for it. -- David Kastrup
