I presume that the next AUCTeX will have a "provides preview-latex"
dependency or something like that (don't know the Debian package
system).

So it won't matter if there are newer preview-latex packages around.
I also don't know whether Davide will model the new AUCTeX
dependencies on existing preview-latex dependencies.

Davide has a bit of a history of being overworked with regard to
releasing AUCTeX: there were several other times where NMUs were
looming.

So as long as the responsibilities are distributed as they are, and if
it is not too much work for you, it might still be worth updating
preview-latex's dependencies as it is unclear when AUCTeX will
actually get updated, and when this change will make it from unstable
to other parties.  After all, there is a number of Debian-derived
distributions around.
