Bug#667026: texlive-xetex should recommend tipa



Package: texlive-xetex
Version: 2011.20120322-2
Severity: normal

Thanks for your work to update texlive to 2012 :-)

Also, thanks to Norbert to explain recent build failure of packages
using XeTeX by pointing out needs to add the tipa package to build-dep.
(See  Bug#666622) This is related to this bug but for this texlive-xetex
package.  http://bugs.debian.org/666622

Current dependency of texlive-xetex is:
 Depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.18), tex-common (>= 3), texlive-base (>= 2011-0.1), texlive-common (>= 2011-0.1), texlive-binaries (>= 2011-0), texlive-latex-base (>= 2011-0.1)
 Recommends: lmodern

Since almost all user uses xunicode.sty, and its current code requires to have tipa pakage, we should update it to:
 Depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.18), tex-common (>= 3), texlive-base (>= 2011-0.1), texlive-common (>= 2011-0.1), texlive-binaries (>= 2011-0), texlive-latex-base (>= 2011-0.1)
 Recommends: lmodern, tipa

This will ensure most user happy font set up while someone with special set up
can live without tipa :-)  For packages like refcard, they still need to list
tipa in their font build-dep.

As for people in CJK, they will install latex-cjk-xcjk anyway.  They get their
fonts suggested and we do not need to worry about such fonts here.
