the tex-preview present in Fedora actually should be compatible because TL2012 is configured to look into /usr/share/texmf as well. > > Should I take this to mean that the preview package has been deprecated > in upstream texlive 2012?

The situation is that tex-preview package is actually part of emacs-auctex and after communication with emacs-auctex's maintainer we decided to follow the Fedora variant and to not to ship TL tex-preview.
