My favorite one is docbook-utils requiring jadetex and tetex-dvips, just for 
docbook2tex and docbook2texi.

Even if you have no intention of ever screwing around with tex, and you just 
want html or man page output, you still end up sucking down the entire tex 
hairball, the whole kit and kaboodle.  I long ago suggested moving 
docbook2texi? to a subpackage, nobody cared.

docbook2txt should also be moved into a subpackage, together with its 
dependency on elinks.
