Latex is only used for pdf output, and even there it's just the default
option, but there is support for other engines as well.

If that wasn't the case, I agree that it should be a dependency, but it
should be a dependency of pandoc rather than pypandoc.

The issue here is that the tests of pypandoc do try to generate a pdf
(as it is a pretty common usecase), and thus they do need latex
installed, but that's only a requirement for the tests.

I'm even more sorry about having wasted your time then :(
