The LaTeX part seems to be easy, and you've done it right. The only nitpicking I have is about your Recommends line: IMHO it doesn't make sense to have two real packages as alternatives, when there is a virtual one that both provide: Recommends: xpdf | evince | pdf-viewer If no package that Provides: pdf-viewer is installed, any frontend that automatically installs Recommends will choose xpdf, anyway. And if evince is already installed, it will satisfy the Recommends because it Provides: pdf-viewer. So if you want to push people from xpdf to evince, use evince | pdf-viewer; if you want to be conservative, use xpdf | pdf-viewer.
