Or just go to the interactive mode, go to tetex-extra, and look at what depends on it. Select those in turn and see if they depend on only tetex-extra or if they will also select texlive. Eventually, you'll find out exactly what is specific to tetex-extra and you can find replacments. E.g. instead of latex2html look at tex4ht.
