First of all, the profile is built by running a Guile program, so Guile needs to be available if it’s not already there. Secondly, when the profile is built, a number of “profile hooks” are run. We can see them above: gtk-icon-themes builds a registry of the installed GTK+ themes (which requires GTK+), info-dir builds the Info documentation directory (which requires Texinfo), and so on. Most of these hooks do not pull additional dependencies (for instance, the GTK+ hook uses the GTK+ that you already have), but some do (the Info hooks pulls in Texinfo). HTH! Ludo’.
