Hi Rafael, - about depending on emacsen: see #63513; briefly, the Debian auctex package is for GNU Emacs only, XEmacs already ships its own AUCTeX (see Description, also); - about supporting emacs-snapshot: see #657761, with which I'm merging your report; briefly, the Debian auctex package used to support emacs-snapshot while emacs-snapshot was in Debian, but this is no more the case. However, if people consider it important, I could easily add emacs-snapshot again; at the moment, I count Brendan Halpin and you. BTW, if you did not modify the package scripts you are using AUCTeX without byte-compilation: of course it works, but it's slower (hint: look for the FLAVORS variable).
