Comment (by urilabob@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 sean@…]:
 > Huh. It seems that Octave must be built with documentation or else
 configuring packages fails: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42352 ... this
 would make me think that we should always build documentation which, in
 turn, implies a dependency on latex. Michael?

 The savannah writeup says that the docs are already built in the sources
 and just need to be copied (I have no idea whether this is correct, nor
 where to check). If so, the dependency would only be on texinfo, rather
 than the whole of latex (since texinfo is rather smaller, that would
 presumably make it less of an issue).
