[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Bug#567757: Build-Depending on texlive: unacceptable

[Kumar Appaiah]

Package: nipy
Version: 0.1.2+1741-2
Severity: normal

Hi!

I observe that you Build-Depend on texlive, when texlive-latex related
packages should be sufficient. I was trying to debug an FTBFS in the
package, and found building it to be extremely cumbersome and
time-consuming because of the poor choice of Build-Depends.

I'd request you to kindly choose texlive-latex-extra or some such
package to not have to pull in loads of unneeded TeX related packages.

Thank you.

Kumar
