>how would the build structure that automatically install buil dependencies make sure that all the necessary addons for that paticular document would be installed?

In my thought, the "real" package would be all-texlive (like what you said would be easier for you), replacing the currently hundreds of packages texlive is split into. This completeness ensures build dependencies are satisfied.

The "fake" one would be for the user who just wants to install his own packages with tlmgr/script and doesn't use them as a dependency for any autobuilding. Thus, it would be safe to pretend they've been provided with all-texlive. The point is, this is already what we do with manual install, and it should be available in apt-get without new people having to take an hour figuring out how.

I care because I want new people's job to be easier. And I want your job to be easier. But if consolidating into one package truly isn't an option due to people wanting to autobuild only part of texlive, then I'll shut up now.
