Here is what I do after I have installed TUG TL on some Ubuntu and made 
sure it is in the search path

sudo apt-get install equivs
equivs-control texlive-local
wget http://www.tug.org/texlive/files/debian-control-ex.txt
cp debian-control-ex.txt texlive-local
equivs-build texlive-local
sudo dpkg -i texlive-local_2011-1~1_all.deb

I usually do not install in /usr/share but on a separate
partition, auctex will complain if this is missing

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf
sudo apt-get install auctex


the texlive_local package that we build above does all the trick

otherwise, one can also use

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends emacs auctex

but auctex will still complain that the path above does not exists, but 
in that case we just hit it with a hammer

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf
sudo apt-get install -f
