Title:
  Doxygen-latex dependency should be optional

Status in “doxygen” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “doxygen” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
