I see. Then I will almost refrain from adding to the discussion, but point out a compromise that would have helped me already: Maybe the line in the package description could have mentioned the dependency, e.g. xskak -- An extension to the skak package for chess typesetting (requires texlive-generic-extra). But, in order to not start a discussion, feel free to leave this suggestion unanswered and simply close the bug :-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: F0FBF51F JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
