What does

        $> pdflatex --version

say ?

apt-cache search pdflatex:

        fragmaster - use of psfrag constructs with pdflatex
        latex-beamer - LaTeX class to produce presentations
        texlive-latex-extra - TeX Live: LaTeX supplementary packages
        ctioga - Befehlszeilen-Plot-Werkzeug
        pdfjam - Sammlung von Verarbeitungswerkzeugen für PDF-Dokumente
        pgf - TeX Portables Grafik-Format
        purifyeps - erstellt EPS-Dateien zur Benutzung in TeX und pdfTeX

So, rather texlive-latex-extra (I wouldn't have guessed that either).

Not really, but further confirmation can be gotten from what
starting pdflatex in a console says. Mine does this:
