Does this sentence makes more sense:

    If you want to make AUCTeX aware of used LaTeX package in a document
    and multi-file documents right away, insert the following in your

observation that many users ignore the manual right away as they presume
it is obsolete, not complete, ...  I'm not complaining either :-)
