Although the disadvantages of following this approach are clear (dependencies for stuff that isn't actually used), I don't think this is too bad. Most desktop systems will have many of these things installed already (possibly with the exception of the net-snmp library), so the only thing you're gaining is maybe a few MB of hard-disk space, which is too cheap to really worry about. If you're looking at configuring a tightly controlled server where you don't want anything installed that isn't actually needed, you won't be installing openSUSE anyway (which is mainly aimed at the desktop).
