In LaTeX export, can I control what heading type a headline goes to?

[William Denton <wtd@pobox.com>]

By default the LaTeX export uses the article class, and headline levels are 
mapped to headings this way:  top level becomes section, second level becomes 
subsection, third level becomes subsubsection.  That's simple and works very 
well.

If the book class is used, then the top level becomes part, the second level 
becomes chapter, the third level becomes section, the fourth level becomes 
subsection, etc.  That works well too, of course, but what if I don't want to 
use "part"?

Is there a way, exporting as a book, to make Org skip "part" and make a 
top-level Org headline turn into a chapter?  Is there a built-in way, or do I 
need to make my own class in org-latex-classes that has the structure I want?

(In LaTeX the problem doesn't arise, of course:  don't use \part{} and just 
start with \chapter{}.)
