Won't exactly that be a problem for buildds?  Many LaTeX-code-generators
do \usepackage{times/mathptmx/...}, and it will be hard to tell
maintainers that they need an additional dependency on
fonts-recommended.  In particular for stuff like debiandoc-sgml which
only Suggests a TeX system and leaves the actual dependencies to the
packages that use it.
