After some experiments, it seems that the advi package itself
would need the packages texlive-base (for the texfonts) and
texlive-base-bin (for the kpsewhich for metafont binaries).

Concerning advi-examples I do not really understand why it
depends on a tex package at all. If this is in order to have
latex then I guess the package texlive-latex-base will do. 
Maybe this could be downgraded to a Recommends.
