well, after looking at the Debian Changelog, I didn't see how a new
Emacs package should be different in that respect from what I already
have.

Sure.

Problem #1: While I had severe problems when I filed the bug report, I
don't know exactly what I did in the meantime, but I can't reproduce
the problem right now. I do remember that I had a lot more files loaded
into Emacs when the problem occurred, however.

Nevertheless, here's a quick rundown of the problem which I reported.

Given two files, a.tex and b.tex, that both contain a \documentclass
statement, so they both are full-fledged documents. Load both into
Emacs, which will result in two buffers named "a.tex" and "b.tex",
maybe unless you do something weird. Place the focus (?) into "b.tex",
so you can edit the buffer contents associated with the file named
"b.tex". For simplicitly, don't split the window or some such, but
bring "b.tex" to the "foreground" to work on it. Then press "Ctrl-C
Ctrl-f" to run LaTeX on that file - BUT... instead of b.tex, it formats
a.tex! Likewise, if I pressed "Ctrl-C Ctrl-v" to view the .dvi file, it
displayed a.dvi when I expected it to display b.dvi.


Best,
