But I presume that the file
~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.87.7/tex-site.el[c] does exist, right?  If it
does, it would mean that `load-path' is wrong somehow although that
should be set up by auctex-autoloads.el before that requires tex-site.

Well, and given that it works with the Emacs distributed by Debian, I
can only think of some incompatibility.  There have been major changes
with respect to cl structs which are used by package.el, so I suggest
you reinstall the auctex ELPA package.  Version 11.87.7 is extremely
outdated anyway.

Bye,
