Package: ocamlweb
Version: 1.37-8

Installing ocaml-core on a system with no TeX installed pulls in half
the universe.  Installing ocaml-core on a system with a TeX
installation works better.

ocaml-core depends on ocamlweb, and ocamlweb has

    Depends: tetex-extra | texlive-latex-extra, ocaml-base-nox-3.10.2

tetex-extra is an obsolete compatibility package, which pulls in half
the universe.  Installing texlive-latex-extra first partly works
around this issue.

I believe that there are at least two bugs here:

1. The Depends is ordered wrongly; it should say

    Depends: texlive-latex-extra | tetex-extra

2. There's no reason it should be Depends, Recommends should be
   enough.

I'm also filing a bug about ocaml-core.
