doxygen's latex output requires texlive-fonts-recommended dependency

[p-s]

its impossible to compile doxygen latex output due to missing helvetica font:
kpathsea: Running mktexmf phvr8t
! I can't find file `phvr8t'.

and one needs to install texlive-fonts-recommended manually.

I did this on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS but I'm still getting

kpathsea: Running mktextfm phvr8t
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input phvr8t
This is METAFONT, Version 2.718281 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

As of version 1.9.1 doxygen-latex does depend on texlive-fonts-recommended.
It has been like that as far back as I can quickly check (version 1.8.8-5 in Debian old-old-stable):

I am sorry I can not help with latex stuff.
