How about removing the prefix completely? Package description should be
sufficient to figure out it ships a TeX related stuff and we don't have many of
them currently. I see the only purpose of the prefix to avoid conficts with
already existing packages, in that case (la)tex-* or suffix *-(la)tex is ok IMO.
