Junichi, if packages
1. Require texi2html to build
2. Don't require any other part of tetex-bin to build
3. Declare a Build-Depends on tetex-bin
then those packages are broken and need to be fixed by changing
their Build-Depends line to include texi2html and not tetex-bin.
Declaring false dependencies in tetex-bin so that other package
maintainers don't have to fix their packages is not the right way
to solve the problem.
If need be, we can always file a ton of bugs against these
packages with broken Build-Depends.
JU> Fix tetex-bin, please.
If I'm understanding the issue correctly, tetex-bin is not broken,
and therefore does not need to be fixed. Please correct me if I'm
not understanding the issue here.
