texlive-extra-utils contains 18 executables and a bunch of data files,
getnonfreefonts is just a small part of it.  Depends is clearly wrong,
IMO even Recommends is too strong, since that would mean that those TeX
or ConTeXt geeks that refrain from installing LaTeX need to override the
"install Recommends by default" rule just because they want to use, say,
pdfcrop.  

Committed that to our SVN. The next upload of texlive-extra will "close"
the bug, but only for experimental ATM.

Regards, Frakn
