Thinking about it, it would be normal that the automatic autoload generation does it. And indeed, there are ";;;autoload" stanzas for it in vala-mode.el, at least in vala-mode as downloaded from melpa. There are not in the debian package, but you just need to add ;;;###autoload alone on its line in vala-mode.el before each line you want in the autoload file. -- Rémi Vanicat
