Sorry for ignorant question (no time to explore further, but you'll
know the answer or tell me to be quiet :-) - why is there a dependency
at all? Is it purely for mktexlsr? mktexlsr is only useful if you
have a working kpathsea, so why not just surround the mktexlsr calls
with "if command -v mktexlsr" tests?
And I don't like the idea of depending on tetex-bin so that tetex-base
gets pulled in automatically: specify what you *actually* want to be
depending on.
