I'd say that packaging a texlive file in another package is wrong anyways, so I'd suggest 3) in any case, with the possibility that someone can still take up auctex, fix the emacs-lisp error and make auctex depend on texlive-preview (and, for good measure, fix the unversioned obsoletes for tetex-preview).
