Okay, asking myself... Unfortunately the answer is: "dunno, but KPackage
is the prominent tool in the debian KDE menu".
Is there something wrong with KPackage or the debian KDE menu?
If there is, you can report it.
Synaptic (which is the GUI tool I've got installed) can find "textlive-
latex-base" just fine.

I also started apt-get, but this works not at all.
"apt-cache search texlive-latex-base" should do the job.
Side note: ensure you are feeding your package manager with the proper
repositories -refreshed and enabled- in "/etc/apt/sources.list".
