Bug#814321: fonts-lmodern: useless dependency on tex-common
Package: fonts-lmodern
Version: 2.004.5-1
Severity: normal
The fonts-lmodern binary package has a useless dependency on tex-common.
While its maintainer scripts do run update-texmf-config, the call is a
no-op, as fonts-lmodern contain no font map files, hyphenation patterns, or
format updates, nor actually anything relevant to TeX.
Please remove update-texmf-config from the maintainer scripts and drop the
tex-common dependency.
