Dependencies on -dev packages



What is the thinking behind always requiring libfoo-dev to depend on
libbar-dev when libfoo depends on libbar?  I understand the need when
/usr/include/foo.h contains

  #include <bar.h>

but if libfoo opaquely wraps libbar, why have libfoo-dev depend on
libbar-dev?
