Bug#392517: Please make texlive-doc-en a Recommends

[Michael Biebl <biebl@teco.edu>]

Package: texlive
Severity: wishlist

The texlive-doc-en package is rather big (~55mb). If you want to install
texlive instead of tetex and with other packages starting to depend on
texlive | tetex-base, you are forced to install the documentation.
It would be great if it was possible to choose if you want to install the
documentation or not (either by using a Suggests or a Recommends).
The same is true for texlive-fonts-recommended and
texlive-latex-recommended. If they are not really "required" for a
working texlive installation, their depedency should probably also
degraded to Recommends:

Cheers,
Michael
