We're not at all opposed to a solution. We're just opposed to people who suggests "solutions" as abstract as this: No info about which packages you would put where, and no code. > But in case you'd think otherwise I added this part as a solution, that > would be suboptimal but still better than the current state. > The -others package would have a warning that maintainers should make > dependencies on that package only with the specific version number and > request that the font they are depending on should be exposed as a > separate package. Ah, good point. Ever looked into a FTBS bug reassigned to TeXLive? Package maintainers usually don't know which build-deps they need for building their documentation with LaTeX, they just try out. So every change here might bring funny new work into the boring life of the TeXLive maintainers...
