I agree that this information is useful. In Debian, we compile the
page with hevea instead of texlive. This eases this problem, as the
hevea package is sufficient to build the page. I guess that it takes
care of pulling the needed dependencies, or something.

Likewise, (it seems that) running hevea once is enough to resolve all
the internal references.

Of course, the above information remains useful to the users of
texlive. I'm just a bit surprised by the need of texlive-cyrillic and
texlive-collection-langcyrillic. I could provide the corresponding
names for Debian and derivatives if you want. I have to do some tests
for that.

Thanks,
Mt
