You might also want to consider that while the above is true using 
apt-get, when you use aptitude it will automatically deinstall those 
other packages when removing the explicitly installed package.

Since before the release of Etch, aptitude has been the official 
recommended install tool (despite many users and developers still 
personally recommending apt-get).

So even if keeping your current hard dependencies, you might consider 
dropping that (arguably bogus) promise from the description.
