Short answer: because AUCTeX is the *most* important lisp package I use
and right now I can barely effort to run into problems with it.

Long answer: you are right and not only this I should also upgrade the
Xemacs official pkg[1] (Xemacs has/had for years a package system similar
to ELPA)

Ok, but custom does cause a problem so I decided to separate the custom
setting for X(emacs) and GNU emacs and some problems are gone..

Are you sure? 

Now (after having separated the custom variables) 
I see the following error in the COmpile log 
emacs/site-lisp/packages/auctex-11.84/font-latex.elc:Error: Don't know how to 
compile nil


then in a latex file  the menus are there, I can run latex, but the file
is in fundamental mode! 

With debug-on-error to t, I obtain an error
which I attach.
