${misc:Depends} is not there and so we don't get a tex-common dependency
from dh_installtex added...

BUT why oh why does dh_installtex add
update-* commands to a package which does *not* contain *any* tex files
at all?

$ dpkg -L texpower-manual
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/texpower-manual
/usr/share/doc/texpower-manual/copyright
/usr/share/doc/texpower-manual/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/texpower-manual/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/texpower
/usr/share/doc/texpower/manual
/usr/share/doc/texpower/manual/manual.pdf.gz
/usr/share/doc/texpower-manual/manual

Increasing 400742s severity.
(and marking those two bugs blocked by it, I don't see *any* sense
of depending on tex-common and having maintainer scripts running
whatever TeX commands when the package doesn't contain files affecting
TeX itself.)

Rene
