Bug#390190: texlive-base: Better dependency chains

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-base
Version: 2005.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

I was just trying to suggest proper dependencies for debiandoc-sgml, as
an alternative to teTeX, and wondered why texlive-latex-extra does not
depend on texlive-latex-recommended.  This means that a package that
needs files from both packages has to depend on both.  However, I was
under the impression that there's kind of a "hierarchy" of packages,
texlive-latex-base < texlive-latex-recommended < texlive-latex-extra,
and no one would only want -extra without recommended.  

Obviously this was wrong - why?

Regards, Frank

P.S. Norbert, ich habe gerade erfahren, dass du am Sonntag wählen
"musst"...
