(Packages-Master of the 21st of October, 00:49GMT.) This means that when you select hyperlatex in dselect you get a conflict/dependency resolution screen which is supposed to warn you about this potential problem (remember that a Recommends line is quite a strong recommendation). (Currently - dpkg 1.0.5 - the conflict/dependency resolution screen is less informative than it might be; I intend to improve this, but the problem will not go away until the bad recommendation is fixed.)
