The texlive-latex-recommended package is needed in order to use that function,
but installing it without disabling the recommends (which are not needed, most
of them are docs...) would bring more than 250 MB of dependencies.

Solutions are:
1) put texlive-latex-recommended in Suggest, so it is not downloaded and
   installed by defaults, and add a note in the Description field;
2) convince the texlive maintainers to clean up their recommends, but I don't
   have so much hope here...

I think I'll go with 1.
