Yes, but what *is* the right way?  For instance, probably because I add to
`LaTeX-mode-hook' in my :init declaration, using `(use-package tex-site' gives
me (among others) the following error:

Error (use-package): tex-site/:catch: Symbol's value as variable is void: 
LaTeX-mode-map

So in my experience if you want to customize LaTeX-mode, you have to use
`(use-package latex' to make sure latex.el is loaded.  But perhaps I'm doing
it the wrong way.
