Thanks to Raphael's suggestion I moved the asciidoc-dblatex to the Recommends section of asciidoc and make asciidoc depend on asciidoc-base. This way we have a behavior that mimics the old behavior and keeps the split in place. I'll check with Raphael if he can sponsor this upload. Thanks for the report, Joseph
