Shawn,

Can you say if there are any future plans to include a switch to override 
installing the dependencies of a package.

No, there are no plans for that. If a package declares dependencies as required, then the package system must install them to be able to manage packages properly. To do so otherwise is madness from a dependency resolution standpoint.

With that said, it is planned that publication tools are enhanced so that you can easily copy a package and strip its dependencies if you want to customise it and install your own version.

Cheers,
