Please check your system's `site-run-file'. That's probably /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el. I presume there's some code in it which forcefully loads the site-lisp AUCTeX version. There could also be "a default init file" /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el doing something such. If my guess is correct, then I'd say that's an Ubuntu bug. site-lisp.el is for stuff like setting `load-path' but no packages should be forcefully loaded. The decision which system-wide installed packages are going to be used is still a user decision which should not be forced on them (especially since now with ELPA there's a likely chance that a user installes and wants to use a newer version of a system-wide installed package).
