Therion has been working OK with texlive for me, and builds fine on my
machine. However, I just tried building it in pbuilder by way of a
proper check for potential FTBFS problems, and it fails due to not
being able to find pdftex.fmt

The end of the build log says:
make -C ./thbook
make[2]: Entering directory
/tmp/buildd/therion-0.5.0/build-tree/therion/thbook'
pdftex thbook.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt
mktexfmt: format pdftex' not available.
I can't find the format file pdftex.fmt'!

Currently the build-deps are:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 5.0.0), dbs, perl (>= 5.5),              
docbook-to-man, texlive-base-bin | tetex-bin, tcl8.4 | tclsh,       
libvtk5-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev, libfreetype6-dev

Some experimentation determined that installing either texlive-pdfetex
or texlive-base instead of texlive-base-bin, fixed the problem. As
texlive-pdfetex is smaller I have gone with that for the build dep I
am just about to upload. So this email just by way of info and
completeness, unless anyone thinks that there is a reason to use
texlive-base instead?
