Then let me clarify.
I was looking at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
before submitting this bug report, and kile configures and works as a
latex editor just fine without having texlive installed. Just like it
works without a pdf-viewer.
As it stands now, the actual "texlive" package is recommended, while
"texlive-latex-base" is depended upon.
But just this basic set of packages is unlikely to be enough for most
users anyway.
