For a reason that I do not understand, currently full-upgrade wants to
install some rather huge packages.

"aptitude -D" is supposed to show for each package to be newly installed
the reason why it is needed.  In my case, aptitude wants to install
texlive-fonts-extra though this package is currently not installed and
also (to my knowledge) not required or recommended in any way.

"apt-get full-upgrade" wants to do the same, BTW.

What does

aptitude why texlive-fonts-extra

say?
