asciidoc does not *depend on* texlive

Hi,

I understand that under certain circumstances, asciidoc needs texlive. But I don't think therefore it is a "depends" relationship, because I've been using asciidoc for more than 5 years, and I don't remember I ever need texlive for asciidoc.

Currently, in order for me to use asciidoc, I have to pull in 456 MB + 759 MB = 1.2 GB of extra things that I most probably never use. To me, this is just absurd.

Thanks

From vanilla Precise:

$ apt-get install asciidoc
