I had been thinking about it and am not sure what would be the best option: Some packages use the tetex useflag to enable some latex support, in which case a latex useflag should be fine. (e.g. doxygen is the first one I found that seems to be in that case) Some others use it to enable kpathsea support, where tetex is the historical distribution that provides it for us. From quickly digging into lcdf-typetools code for ex., it seems it is used there to locate files and update the kpathsea files so that other apps using kpathsea will see the changes it has made. That way it integrates with a tetex-alike distribution. So, imho, in that case a kpathsea useflag would make more sense; but I doubt such a useflag name will speak by itself.
