I tried to avoid the installation of all the latex stuff because first It consumes a lot of time and second I use Miktex so there is no need for it.
It also seems to be impossible to get rid of it after it was installed.

I had this problem a while back also. Turns out dependencies on latex lurk in the strangest packages. I ended up having to compute the transitive closure of package dependencies to find the culprits [1], which in my case included gnome-common, gtk-doc, and xmlto.
