Hi,
this issue has now been known a week without an answer from any of the
maintainers of the involved packages. I'm going to fix the auctex bug
in an NMU, so that it can migrate to testing and preview-latex be
removed. The patch is below, the urgency is going to be high, since
this is a trivial change.
Davide, I hope I don't interfere while you are just about to upload your
own version. But since we haven't heard anything from you, I am not
willing to wait.
Regards, Frank
