My package build-depends on texlive and texlive-generic-recommended, both of them depends (directly or not) on tex-common. By the way, I will make an upload with this added build-dependency (I prefer this solution than adding a lintian override). But I think that lintian is wrong here. Perhaps, it should be fixed to also look for indirect dependencies ?
