Attempted to install dvipng package with all dependencies in DAB in a single line and it failed with needing texlive-base-bin which is a virtual package provided by texlive-binaries package. The following mitigated it:
Code:
    dab install imagemagick htmldoc graphviz texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-pictures preview-latex-style
#    # texlive-base-bin is a virtual package provided by texlive-binaries that gets installed above and is needed before dvipng is installed in DAB dpkg
    dab install dvipng

Also, all Pear/PECL packages that need phpize to configure them must be installed when using DAB only after Pear has been upgraded and it's normal Pear/PECL packages installed. php5-apc and php5-apcu need php 7 to work and Jessie has php 5.6. This way we avoid using phpize and the *-dev packages bloat in the template size.
