Please check yourself:
	apt-cache show texlive | grep Depends
and you will get:
	Depends: texlive-latex-recommended (>= 2016), texlive-fonts-recommended (>= 2016), texlive-latex-base (>= 2016)
That means you would get
	collection-latexbase
	collection-latexrecommended
	collection-fontsrecommended
	collection-base
This is not comparable to any scheme we ship in Debian.

Because texlive-en.pdf is the documentation of TeX Live as shipped originally
by TUG.

Debian repackages TeX Live to comply with Debian packaging requirements.

That can be worked around, but I am not a Maccy.

All the best
