Always glad to be of assistance:

  edd at max:~$ locate tufte-handout.cls
  /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/tufte-latex/tufte-handout.cls
  edd at max:~$ dpkg -S `locate tufte-handout.cls`
  texlive-pictures: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/tufte-latex/tufte-handout.cls
  edd at max:~$ 

The package is arguably named a little awkwardly but there you go: "of
course" it is Debian.   I reckon that the aggregate file space of all the
texlive package I have installed is in excess of the disk size of my first
Linux computers...
