Because Precise is an LTS release and this version of AucTeX was current back in early 2012?

From the bug: update-auctex-elisp needs to run whenever new or changed LaTeX files get installed. Currently, update-auctex-elisp runs via a weekly cron job. Now that dpkg supports triggers, auctex should use that instead, to run update-auctex-elisp on installation of LaTeX. This will keep auctex up to date immediately rather than waiting until the weekly cron job runs, and it will avoid running update-auctex-elisp when no changes have occurred.
