Package: tipa
Version: 2:1.3-4
Severity: minor

the tipa package description says: "Type 1 fonts for TIPA are also
included in this package (to make them available in X11, please install
the xfonts-tipa package)."

Since actually viewing the results of one's typesetting is often an
essential step, wouldn't that merit a mention of xfonts-tipa as
Suggests: or even Recommends?

or argued the other way round: shouldn't 'apt-get install tipa' result
in the installation of xfonts-tipa as well? or: installing tipa via
aptitude, isn't it unecessarily complicated to choose xfonts-tipa as
well?

(why is xfonts-tipa a separate package anyway, since it Depends: tipa
and its 127k will hardly make a difference to tipa's 10.5M installed
size?)
