No, this should be fine.  By the way, are you sure you mean emacs23
and not emacs22?  emacs23 isn't even in sid.  (Emacs 23 is not
released yet.)

Well, the Debian package will provide a tex-site.el, but certainly not
at the location you mentioned (unless you used the source package and
compiled AUCTeX yourself).  It will rather be below
/usr/share/emacs22/site-lisp/ or similar.

I'd rather get rid of the cruft you have lying around in your home
directory and which interferes with the Debian package.
