That's exactly the same approach as Debian;
I couldn't find anything like that under Fedora RPMs:
doxygen.spec just lists a bunch of Requires: tex(latex) type entries.
Is there some other source of truth about Fedora packages than 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/projects/rpms/ or some other way of 
interpreting tex() requirements?

You could now define doxygen-latex as CATEGORY=virtual to avoid calm 
warnings, which sometimes are public and annoying to all uploaders.

You could also go the other way, as OpenSuSE appears to have --disable-d 
and dropped both latex dependencies and building doxygen-doc:
"Kill doxygen-doc subpackages the latex deps keep growing while it is 
really easy to download the generated pdfs from upstream".
[I can't really blame them, as an ~30MB package should not need to drag 
in ~0.5GB of other stuff to produce output.
I feel sorry for those, such as students working from home or 
apts/flats, on non-broadband, limited, or metered networks.]
