That is actually _not_ the future. The future would be AUCTeX-11.81 (well, in a few days we should have 11.82) out which would include preview-latex.
I have no idea how the AUCTeX and preview-latex Debian maintainers are planning to deal with it. Personally, I don't think it makes much sense to keep preview-latex unbundled as it is now: that was the reason for bundling the stuff upstream. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
