calibre 7.8.0+ds1-1 has acquired a hard dependency on node-mathjax-full
(and indirectly on nodejs and 8 other node packages), installing some
100MB.
In my understanding, mathjax is used for typesetting mathetical
formulars in ebooks, and I guess that's not what most calibre users
do regularly.
Would a be a possibility to move node-mathjax-full from Depends to
Recommends, so that user have the option to not install a whole new
ecosystem on their machines?
