Simple reason: The *source* packages are auto-generated using perl scripts,
and it seems that it never crossed my mind that I should remove the
dependencies of the -doc packages on texlive-base and tex-common (this 
is what you mean when writing "depends on tex", right?).

That can be fixed, for sure.
