I didn't intend to force users to use texlive. If
 BuildDepends: texlive-texmf | tetex-texmf
works, it makes sense because you don't have to download the big
texlive-20080822-texmf-delpdf.tar.bz2 (still have to download
texlive-20080816-source.tar.lzma, but the size is only 23MB).
Therefore I suggested it. But if it does not work, I have no idea
for now unfortunately...
