I think you're forgetting about more than boot loaders, since this has
been explained more than once. However, I'll try to summarize:
If we have reason to treat that software as part or a potential part of
the debian system, then our system has a dependency on that software.
If that software is outside the scope of our system (by virtue of there
being no logical way for our system to change that software or for that
software to replace anything within the system), then it's outside the
scope of our system.
