if they break without them, I'd say they need them. Builddepends and Depends aren't always easy to see but it doesn't mean they aren't needed. If an app doesn't behave properly with a depends/builddepends I'd say it's needed.

I do it all the time in my pkgs.

Sure. The problem are packages like irssi that don't need them, but still break when gettext-dev is there and libiconv-dev isn't.
