I see.  Well, this is historical story.
Once pTeX's commands were called jtex/jlatex because
japanese(or japanized?) tex/latex but they confict with
JTeX's commands.  So, at some time, they changed commands
names as ptex/platex.
ptex-jtex package is, in short, "ptex" package of latex209
or when commans names were jtex/jlatex.

Well, I think pTeX modifies real engine substantially.
