Bug#1021347: fonts-texgyre: please demote fonts-texgyre-math to Recommends

Hi Norbert,

Not really ... I am probably most nervous about other dependencies
within TeX Live onto TeX Gyre fonts which then expects to have
the math fonts installed.

So dropping the depends to recommends or suggests is in principle fine,
but then we need to check which of the texlive-* packages depend on
texgyre and might need an additional dependency.

hille@sid-amd64:~/devel/TeXLive/github/texlive-nonbin$ grep -r gyre *|grep -v Data.tlpdb.lua

all/debian/cfg.d/debian-replacement.cfg:blacklist;tpm;tex-gyre;*
all/debian/cfg.d/debian-replacement.cfg:blacklist;tpm;tex-gyre-math;*
all/debian/cfg.d/debian-replacement.cfg:recommends;texlive-fonts-recommended;tex-gyre
all/debian/cfg.d/debian-replacement.cfg:depends;texlive-full;tex-gyre

So, texlive-fonts-recommended recommends tex-gyre and texlive-full pulls it in. tex-gyre in turn contains the full set of Type1 fonts, just recommends the OpenType fonts (fonts-texgyre & fonts-texgyre-math). So I don't see any need for action here.
