But that doesn't work this way. You are not supposed to forsee
dependency changes in the packages you depend on (here, tex-common).
Whenever you rely on something (as opposed to using it only if it is
available), you must Depend on the package it is provided by (or
Build-Depend if it is for the package build process).
