chained dependencies handling in debian/control

[Alexandre <Alexandre.Fayolle@logilab.fr>]

Hello,

Let package A depend on package B and C. 
Let package B depend on package C. 
I maintain A, someone else maintains B and C. 

Should I explicitely let A depend on B and C in debian/control, or is it
OK -- or better -- to let it depend only on B? 

In the case at hand:
A = python2.1-xml
B = python2.1-xmlbase
C = python2.1

So I'm pretty certain that B's dependency on C won't be removed
silently.


Thanks in advance
