I don't want the latex command to produce PDFs.

[Adam Funk]

I've recently switched from Debian to Ubuntu and noticed that the
latex command produces .pdf rather than .dvi output because of the
symlink [1]

  [1] /usr/bin/latex -> pdfetex

whereas on my old Debian box [2] is the case.

  [2] /usr/bin/latex -> etex

I'd like to fix this so the latex command works "normally", but I
can't just change the latex symlink to point to etex because of [3] on
Ubuntu (on Debian etex is a binary).

  [3] /usr/bin/etex -> pdfetex

How should restore the traditional behaviour on an Ubuntu system?  (If
I want PDF output, I'll use the pdflatex command.)

Thanks,
Adam
