If it's really needed, why not just add a faq:
Q: how do I generate laTeX from org?
A: use org-export-to-html and then call html2latex on the result (see
http://html2latex.sourceforge.net/)

?

Chris.

PS.  On the subject of org-publish (sort of), one of the things I like most
about org-mode is that I can have Readme.org files scattered over a number
of directories and have them all included in the agenda.  However,
org-publish assumes all org files for a single project reside in a single
directory.  I wonder if I am the only one who has several directories per
project?

I have hacked org-publish.el (badly) to allow me to supply a list of org
files instead of a directory.  If this would be useful for anyone else, I'm
happy to have a go a cleaning it up and offer a patch.
