Bug Description

jsmath-fonts currently depends on jsmath.
jsmath is a package intended strictly for servers which will provide jsmath support.
However, jsmath-fonts is very handy for installing on computers which will access jsmath-based sites, as jsmath generates bitmap fonts in the absence of these fonts.

For these reasons, please change
Depends: jsmath to
Recommends: jsmath

It may also make sense to add
Enhances: firefox, rekonq, konqueror, seamonkey-browser
since it enhances the performance of Javascript-capable browsers when viewing jsmath sites.

Reporting from system:

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release: 10.04
jsmath-fonts:
  Installed: 1.3-2
  Candidate: 1.3-2
  Version table:
 *** 1.3-2 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It looks like this affects current versions as well, according to packages.ubuntu.com/natty/jsmath-fonts.

Paolo, if you mean the update for ubuntu, you need to use '-NubuntuN' versioning, target it to the current release (precise) and change the maintainer address (running 'update-maintainer' is enough).

I've done those changes and uploaded this to precise.
