Package: texlive-pstricks
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal
texlive-pstricks Recommends several other packages: ps2eps,
texlive-extra-utils, and texlive-font-utils. However, texlive-pstricks
does not give any indication of what it needs these packages for, making
it difficult for the user to determine whether to install them.
texlive-pstricks-doc seems rather obvious, but for the rest, please
consider documenting in the package description what texlive-pstricks
uses those packages for. Please also consider for each whether they
should use "Recommends" or "Suggests", since Recommends now get
instlaled by default.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett

Recommends and depends are induced into the package due to replacement
of part in TL with separately packaged stuff in Debian, and
requirements of packages needed files from other packages.
I don't see any obligation to write down for each of the hundred+ relations
I have in the TL packages a reason.
Closing this bug.
