I'm in the process of packaging up a python library which depends on sympy,
and having the same issue. Due to texlive-fonts-extra being recommended in
sympy, the install size is increased by about 2 GB.

So I agree with Ghis' suggestion of changing (at least) dvipng and
texlive-fonts-extra from recommends to suggests.
