[Bug 846314] [NEW] Doxygen-latex dependency should be optional

[Olivier Mengué]

Public bug reported:

I want to use doxygen only to generate HTML documentation.

But the doxygen binary package has a dependency on doxygen-latex that
drags tens of LaTeX packages:

$ LANG=C sudo aptitude install -R doxygen
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  doxygen doxygen-latex{a} latex-xcolor{a} luatex{a} preview-latex-style{a} 
  tex-common{a} texlive-base{a} texlive-binaries{a} texlive-common{a} 
  texlive-doc-base{a} texlive-extra-utils{a} texlive-latex-base{a} 
  texlive-latex-extra{a} texlive-latex-recommended{a} texlive-pictures{a} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  lacheck latex-beamer lmodern pgf prosper texlive-latex-base-doc 
  texlive-latex-extra-doc texlive-latex-recommended-doc texlive-luatex 
  texlive-pictures-doc 
0 packages upgraded, 15 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


This is a waste of my disk space.
