Comment:

 It seems to me that the only way bibtool would actually depend on texlive
 (beyond just not being very interesting without bibtex) is that it would
 link against libkpathsea if built with --with-kpathsea. In that case, it
 should depend on texlive-bin.

 We aren't currently building it with kpathsea support. We might want to do
 it at some point, but for now this is an unnecessary dependency.
