Further spelunking in the bowels of my system leads me to believe that the Debian way would be to put (require 'tex-site.el) in /etc/emacs/site-start.el or to have the package itself put a symlink to tex-site.el in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/. This is the default behavior of tm and vm (i.e., they install /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50mime-setup.el /etc/emacs19/site-start.d/50vm-init.el respectively. (Don't ask me to explain why one package installs in /etc/emacs/ and the other in /etc/emacs19/.)) > The thing that annoyed me is that AUCTeX was working on my bo system, but > after upgrading it stopped working.

I used to have AUCTeX working on my hamm system without my having to do anything special in my ~/.emacs until I upgraded recently. Then I had to put in the (require 'tex-site). I think this happened when I replaced the emacs package with the emacs19 + emacsen-common combination. Noel -- Nasrudin walked into a teahouse and declaimed, "The moon is more useful than the sun."
