Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grisbi

Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release 8.10
grisbi 0.5.9-0ubuntu2 0
   Recommends: latex-ucs, tetex-extra

When installing grisbi I expected to download and install a few MB of packages. 
What happened instead is that apt asks for the installation of a full blown 
latex system with a 336MB download and close to 700MB on-disk.

The upstream documentation states that latex is optional, see
http://grisbi.tuxfamily.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=docs_en:installation.

I believe that the dependency "tetex-extra" should be downgraded from 
recommends to suggests.
Also the other recommends dependency "latex-ucs" doesn't exist in Intrepids 
repository. Should it be removed?
