You are half right. Yes, the converter will runLaTeX(), but the latex machinery will not run latex because the checksum of the latex file will be consistent with the .dep file. If I understoo well, this is part of the complex "run latex until the aux file does not change" strategy to make sure cross references are all catch, but also can be seen as an optimization. > The converter will not use this dvi, since it does not appear in the > chain.
