I cannot reproduce this, either, even after removing
texlive-fonts-recommended. However, I am also using texlive 2007,
which I think is crucial here. According to, eg,
<URL:http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hyperref/hpdftex.def?revision=985&view=markup&pathrev=3956>
older versions of hpdftex.def did indeed require pifont.sty.
However, we cannot change this for etch. And even if the problem would
still exist in sid, I would be against a Depends for the simple reason
that there are many LaTeX documents that can be processed without
texlive-fonts-recommended. A Recomends would be sufficient from my
point of view.
