I believe this is not related to my problem.  If some package depends,
recommends or suggests texlive-fonts-extra, this should be shown by
"aptitude -D".  Also, "aptitude -RD full-upgrade" (this is equivalent to
setting APT::Install-Recommends to "false") wants to install
texlive-fonts-extra as well.
