is it a bug to not depend on a library package needed for some binary?

[Karl Chen <quarl@cs.berkeley.edu>]

Suppose package P contains files /usr/bin/B1 and /usr/bin/B2.  B1
is the important program, and B2 is not as important.  Is it OK
for the declared package dependencies to not satisfy all the
run-time shared library dependencies of B2?  What if they are
listed in Suggests?

I have found many such packages.
