The TeX-related Build-deps of derivations don't seem correct, anyway (all statements are untested, but I'm confident they are correct): Build-Depends-Indep: texlive-common (>= 2005.dfsg.3) This package is pulled in, in its proper version, by any package that provides TeX-related typesetting functionality: Can be dropped texlive-base (>= 2005.dfsg.3) This package doesn't provide a useful functionality nor interface, unless you use plain TeX. Even if the rather complicated build system of derivations does this, it also uses LaTeX - and LaTeX will always require these features, too, and thus depend on the package. Can be dropped texlive-base-bin (>= 2005.dfsg.2) now texlive-binaries provides executables, but no LaTeX functionality by itself. In teTeX with its only 3 packages, tetex-bin was a frequent build-dep. But in TeXLive, texlive-latex-* is what you want. Can be dropped texlive-generic-recommended (>= 2005.dfsg.3) It sounds strange to depend on this for building LaTeX documentation. Should be tested whether it is needed. texlive-latex-base (>=2005.dfsg.3) This and tl-pstricks are probably the only that need to stay. The versioned dep isn't necessary (there's no older version anywhere).
