Bug#755700: texlive shouldn't recommends docs packages



Source: texlive-base

Dear maintainers,

In my opionion texlive packages should not recommend the corrispondent -doc
packages. This "force" users to download a huge amount of useless data.
I'm speaking in particular about reverse dependencies: if a program wants to use
a texlive binaries, it have to depend (or recommend) a texlive package, but this
is not always convenient.

I just hit such a case: see bug #732694.

So I'm asking you to:
* texlive-latex-recommended: demote texlive-latex-recommended-doc from Recommends to Suggests
* texlive-latex-base: demote texlive-latex-base-doc from Recommends to Suggests
* texlive-pictures: demote texlive-pictures-doc from Recommends to Suggests
* texlive-metapost: demote texlive-metapost-doc from Recommends to Suggests
* texlive-fonts-recommended: demote texlive-fonts-recommended-doc from Recommends to Suggests

Thanks in advance.
