But I think the point still remains: I'm not a TeX expert, but if a package foo depends on a font provided by texlive-lang-italian, foo must depends on texlive-lang-italian. If I forgot this dependency and then I build the package on a clean pbuilder, the bug won't appear, because texlive-lang-italian is installed because it's recommended. So, from my very simple POV, pbuilder shouldn't install Recommends by default, which seems to be what Junichi will do in the next pbuilder upgrade [1].
