This can be done, in theory it's nothing too complicated and all it takes
is simply add a DEPENDS.txt file to the repository.
If you're interested in doing this, see [1] and [2] for information.

As Nicolas has pointed out, it's untenable to do an exhaustive listing of
the dependencies so I'd recommend installing some typical collections first
such as `texlive-collection-latexrecommended' and only then report the
missing non-obvious dependencies for inclusion in a DEPENDS.txt to upstream.

Furthermore, I consider that nonfree software must be eradicated.

Cheers,
Bruno.
