Bug#952460: texlive-latex-base hyperref.sty depends on texlive-latex-extra letltxmacro.sty

[Agustin Martin <agmartin@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2019.20200218-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have been hit by a FTBFS in linuxdoc-tools (#952360) and when debugging it
I noticed that it was caused by missing letltxmacro.sty, required by
hyperref.sty, included in texlive-latex-base.

$ dpkg -S hyperref.sty letltxmacro.sty
...
texlive-latex-base: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty
texlive-latex-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/letltxmacro/letltxmacro.sty

$ grep letltxmacro /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty
\RequirePackage{letltxmacro}[2008/06/13]

linuxdoc-tools build depends only on texlive-latex-recommended and this
worked previously, but now causes a build failure. I can add a Build-Depends
on texlive-latex-extra, but I do not think it should be needed, as styles in
texlive-latex-base should probably not depend on styles in
texlive-latex-extra.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance, and thanks also for maintaining texlive.

Regards,
