What do you mean?  If it's installing dependencies, it's likely because 
the package you're installing depends on libraries (or binaries or 
something) from the other ones to be available....  I haven't seen a 
whole lot of 'unreasonable' dependancies.  There's a few things that 
depend on X that could have been compiled without support for it, but 
I'm willing to be most people rather have the additional support 
compiled in than not (and it's not as if you couldn't recompile the 
package yourself to not require such things).
