This is probably question of perspective. It is perfectly reasonable for
me. If I am installing mongo, I have probably intention to use it + I
should be sort of informed user. It is not office type of application.
It is still a DB after all.
For 99% people the preallocation will work as auto tuning feature.

Maybe the better way to solve this is to remove mongodb-server from
dependencies of mongodb-dev.
I went through the package and having Depend is probably too harsh
requirement. Recommends will make sense and even Suggests would be
probably sufficient.
Is it going to work for you in this way? BTW what you need to build
PowerDNS? Do you need headers + libs or even the server process running?
Thank you,
Antonin
