The original rationale for Recommends rather than Depends was that AUCTeX is useful to edit TeX files even if you have no TeX on the system (due to space constraints, or whatever else). However, since preview-LaTeX inclusion things have changed: preview-LaTeX is not useful unless you have LaTeX installed. As I see it, either we split preview-LaTeX from AUCTeX, or we add a dependency on (the package providing) LaTeX the binary to the auctex package. Considering AUCTeX upstream wishes, I'm for the second: I don't think there's much to gain by splitting the packages[*], so I think we should just promote the Recommends to Depends. [*] On the contrary, splitting preview-latex-style is useful from a practical point of view, because of Lyx. Wheter we should add versioned Depends on preview-latex-style, I need to ponder the question. Frank, if you already pondered it (as it looks like to me), please add some more rationale to your points. -- Thanks, Davide
