Bug#825003: texinfo: dependency wrongly marked as recommended instead of suggested



Package: texinfo
Version: 6.1.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When updating texinfo a few hundred MB of extra packages are installed if not
using --no-install-recommnends. This is not a desirable thing on minimal
installs

The package in question that is marked wrongly is the
"texlive-fonts-recommended". This package depends on a lot of other packages,
such as x11 libraries which isn't desirable on a minimal system or a server.
