In #402807, Frank Küster proposed a list of Depends that was fairly
short, but in the diff, I see this:

+Depends: sisu, texlive-common, texlive-base-bin, texlive-base, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-latex-base, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-pdfetex, latex-ucs

Are really all these packages needed? Some of these packages are *huge*,
so you should think twice before depending on them.
