Hello,

right now, LaTeX-related dependencies for the xournalpp package are in the
Recommends: section of the RPM spec. 

LaTeX support by default, however is:
1) Costly in terms of disk space: 1656 LaTeX-related packages and ~1GB of disk
space are pulled in when xournalpp is installed without --no-recommends switch.
That's more packages than needed to run a full distro and they slow down
upgrades a lot
2) Not needed by many users, who are fine with using xournalpp as a PDF
annotating tool, notebook or interactive whiteboard (in other words, they are a
weak dependency)

For these reasons, I suggest LaTeX dependencies for xournalpp are moved to the
Suggests: RPM section rather than the Recommends: one currently in use. Thank
you.
