I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Do you want a latex binary?
Then you need to install texlive-latex-base, or if you're using etch
this package or tetex-bin as an alternative.
The real bug here is that some package (don't know which) somehow makes
"latex" known to dpkg, a package which hasn't existed since at least
potato.
