Description

Currently, pulling in tensorflow-text pulls in a requirement for tensorflow. However, if a project already has tensorflow-cpu declared, then it leads to both tensorflow and tensorflow-cpu being installed in the virtual environment.

It would be ideal if it was possible to install a CPU-only version of tensorflow-text.

This comes up in contexts like:

Research direction

Start by examining the tensorflow-text package's dependency and extra metadata, especially how the existing tensorflow requirement is declared. Done means a CPU-specific tensorflow-text[cpu] installation can use tensorflow-cpu without also installing tensorflow; the issue names no files or tests to run.
