As far as I know, Eitan reads the Debian bugs listings for "tex4ht". > shouldn't this problem be reflected into the dependencies of tex4ht? > let's say that tex4ht reccomends sun's java Currently, tex4ht "Suggests" Sun's java rather than "Recommends". This is for a combination of reasons: 1. Many users (myself included!) so far do not need to use "xtpipes". 2. Sun's java is currently not available in Debian. It is only available in the "non-free" archive. This may change as a Debian version of Sun's java may become available. 3. We want to reduce the packages automatically installed. So we do not even use "Recommend" for "imagemagick" or "ghostscript". Note that "Recommended" packages are (from now on) automatically installed for most Debian users by default --- disabling this requires the user to choose "do not install recommend by default". Thus packages that are not needed by most users should be in "Suggests". Regards, Kapil. --
