  | I see texlive is requested by dblatex, which is only under "Recommends".
  | If you don't need dblatex for asciidoc to work, you can run
  | 
  | 	apt-get --no-install-recommends asciidoc

 That did the trick.  Thanks!   (dblatex is a docbook(?)
 backend, and isn't required for anything I am doing.)

  | Alternatively, and more usefully in the long-run, you can use the
  | "equivs" package to build a minimal .deb that will pretend to provide
  | the dependency.  [ ... ]

 Interesting.  I'll keep this in mind for the future.

thanks & cheers!
