Install teTeX off of sunsite under /pub/Linux/apps/tex/teTeX. It works
great and installation is pretty straight-forward. Its not a debian
package, but it includes all of the latest binaries to use latex (xdvi,
dvips, latex, etc..)

I seem to remember something from the log files on the debian install that
the preinst (or postinst) procedures break when setting up latex. Seems
that it complains that the currently installed version is "out of date -
get the latest latex distribution from xxx.xxx.xxx" and fails to make
several .cfg files (namely, default.cfg)
