Isn't this exactly what the "recommends: " field in .deb files is

it does need latex, it does not need docbook (I wonder), it does not
need www-browser. So we have to levels of recommendness:
latex is recommended if you want to produce tex files, this is what
I'd call a dependance.
Well, it is only recommended if you want to use lilypond-book
in conjunction with latex to produce a document. In that
case, it's pretty obvious to anybody that you need a tex
distribution anyway. However, for the 99% of the users who
don't use lilypond-book or only use it with other formats,
there's no dependence. Of course, if you are strict and
say that you have a dependence even if it's only via a
rarely used utility script, then there's a dependency.
