This is actually a bug in the TeX Live packages:
jadetex is a transitional package depending on texlive-htmlxml.
texlive-htmlxml is a transitional package that does not depend
on texlive-formats-extra.
texlive-plain-generic has Provides: jadetex
jadetex is actually in texlive-formats-extra.
Fix for the bug:
- texlive-htmlxml should depend on texlive-formats-extra, and
- the "Provides: jadetex" should move from texlive-htmlxml
to texlive-formats-extra
And src:jadetex should be removed, no (build) dependency is versioned
so the existing Provides already covers that (after the bug above has
been fixed).
