I have no strong opinion about these bits - so moving them to texmaker
package would be fine for me.

Nice to hear that others consider my decision for recommends reasonable.
The original poster might like to reread the guidelines when to use
Depends and when Recommends.  The fact that many <x>-data packages are
Depends is just because they fit the criterion that the package <x> really
does not work without <x>-data.  This is not the case for texmaker.

BTW, I'll be for 10 days on vaccation and will not be able to fix
anything.  You might perfectly be able to convince other Debian Science
team members to upload a patch which closes the bug, but I'm not
available for this until end of May.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
