That's the one we would want here.

But that is the autogenerated support file, not the hand-crafted one.
It provides just some environment and macro completion.  The
hand-crafted one is much superior.

No, it is ok to keep the autogenerated stuff in the "/var"
directories.  The mistake is that the hand-created stuff needs to be
first in the search order, and your `TeX-style-path' variable is
incorrectly set by not including the default style support of AUCTeX.
If you did nothing to tamper with it, this would appear to be a Debian
problem.

If you say
M-x customize-variable RET TeX-style-path RET

is the "State" listed as "STANDARD" ?
