Subject: Bug#3453: latex2edoc dependencies

Package: latex2edoc
Version: 1.6-0

 Package: latex2e-doc
 Recommends: info-browser, auctex

Why does this package recommend auctex ?  Surely it is possible to
view the documentation using info, say, and surely it documents things
besides auctex.

I see in the Description:
   If you use
  AucTeX, then C-h C-l looks up the LaTeX command under point. 
This is no reason even to Suggest AucTeX.

(this bug was encountered during a test installation of 1.1 done by
the three of us.)

Ian.

I'm not the maintainer but I think it's because this help system is
nicely integrated with auctex. Maybe it should only "Suggests:"?
