There are plenty of hacks that allow one to do that locally, but the
current Debian packaging doesn't allow that.

Indeed, it is related, but not exactly the same: even once the D-Bus
dependency is removed (which I plan to do), no doubt the dependency
chain will still be too big for some use cases, as you're suggesting.
So, this calls for a dedicated wishlist bug.
[Off-topic, should go on that dedicated bug once it's been filed:
It could be implemented in a few ways:
(a) by splitting the binary package into three (parcimonie-common,
parcimonie-daemon, and parcimonie-applet);
(b) by demoting applet-specific dependencies to Recommends;
(c) by adding a parcimonie-applet metapackage that depends on
parcimonie and on the applet-specific dependencies (but in this
case, parcimonie would need to "Recommends: parcimonie-applet" for
one Debian release, to make the transition painless -- I'm
assuming that *new* recommends get installed on upgrade by APT,
which I didn't verify).
Help is welcome implementing one of those.]
Cheers,
