I've released Debian auctex 11.91-1 based on the AUCTeX release_11_91
Savannah tag. As far as Debian packaging is concerned tarball releases
are no more necessary. @Mosè: I'd suggest you to sign future release
tags with the same key you are using to sign the tarballs.

Yes, I agree. ATM I do not understand if elpa releases should be
considered stable releases. I tend to think of them as bleeding edge
releases, maybe suitable for Debian experimental, but unsuitable for the
unstable->testing->stable cycle. WDYT?
