Tesseract is missing dependency on its split data files.
I dont know the best way to achieve this, IMO this split is uneeded, but maybe it could depend on the data files the same way libreoffice depends on its i10n files or maybe even add tesseract-data-$something as an optdepend so that the user is informed about the existence of the data files without which tesseract is useless.

Additionally it would be nice if the data files got proper descriptions about which languages they add support for.
eg. tesseract-data-fra's description is: Tesseract OCR data (fra)
That should be changed to Tesseract OCR data (French)
This task depends upon

"That should be changed to Tesseract OCR data (French)"

Or maybe something like "Tesseract OCR French data files"

I added message into post_install and post_upgrade about installing data files.
> "You must install one of tesseract-data-* packages or whole tesseract-data group"

About fixing description: I think I would not implement it, because of technical reason.
Description is generated automatically from data filename:
pkgdesc=\"Tesseract OCR data ($l)\"

Post install messages arent used for dependency tracking.

Ok, I can pack all data file into single package with executable.

But I'd rather to leave it as is. data-files are in optdeps and install message say that you must install at least one of them.

Hi Sergej, you had already fixed this dependency issue in svn [0] without pushing even at the time i opened this report so feel free to close this.
I didnt realise this myself before requesting the reopen and you didnt write about it here yourself either.

To add to the above since all the data files are now optdepends we could do without the post install message which this bug report mistakenly caused to be added.
