Looks like you need tetex-bin, judging from my debian (unstable) system:

  bash-2.05b$ dpkg -S `which latex`
  tetex-bin: /usr/bin/latex

It's probably worth grabbing tetex-extra, too; its description says:
  ...
  Together with tetex-bin and tetex-base, this will give you a
  complete teTeX installation.
