You mean ELPA, right?

The function LaTeX-mode has :after-hook (LaTeX-mode-cleanup) which calls
LaTeX-indent-commands-regexp-make again and will set those variables to
actual regex strings.

But note that the update to AUCTeX 14 from 13 or older can be a bit
tricky because of heavy changes.  If something seems fishy, do M-x
package-delete auctex RET, restart emacs, and then install auctex again.
