Hi, the actual problem here are *build* dependencies most of the time. A lot of stuff pulls in insane amounts of dependencies just so that it can compile documentation of the given package, using LaTeX or DocBook... sometimees it even involves graphviz (for graphs) which then gets you an insane amount of extra packages...
Most of these can be removed again after building the package finished. Sadly, there is (AFAIK) currently no way to automatically do that. And of course if we were still offering pre-built packages, you would not have to install those in the first place. Unfortunately, we currently lack the resources (including manpower and time) to provide such pre-built packages.
