Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2a-2
Severity: minor

Package recommendations are for stuff that doesn't actually break the
functionality of the package, but really ought to be included
(and should be pulled in automatically by package management tools if
available).

Package suggestions are "nice enhancements" to the package.


tetex-doc seems from the description to be in the latter category (as is
the case with most -doc packages).

So please either lower the dependency of tetex-base on tetex-doc from
recommends to suggests, or enhance the long description of tetex-doc to
describe its relation with tetex-base so tight.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas

Hi,

splitting of teTeX will not happen, since it's dead upstream and will be
dropped from Debian as soon as etch is released.

However, TeXlive is already available in sarge and has much smaller
binary packages and a more sophisticated splitting.  Therefore I'm
closing these two bugs
