This is the dependency chain:

debianutils BD-> po4a -> BD-> docbook-utils D-> jadetex, which is 
provided by texlive.

po4a is the real culprit here.  It's dependency list is just too heavy. 
  DescDetail says that it comes with 9 modules.  Are these modules all 
needed for debianutils?  Can they be moved off into a separate package 
(NOT a SplitOff), and then only have debianutils use the basic library? 
Or can debianutils not use po4a at all?
