That are hard dependencies, you could take a look if you could recompile
it without the unneeded parts, or test if a dummy package shouldn't
break it. Sometimes there are indeed useless dependencies that could
cause issues, that need much space, but those dependencies unlikely will
break something, nor do they need much bytes. Your mailer might provide
a reply privately bottom, while you only need reply to lists, would you
ask to remove this feature? IMO those dependencies are ok.
To build a dummy package that fakes to provide the dependencies use
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-helpers.en.html
IMO it isn't worse the effort, as I already mentioned, those
dependencies don't break your Debian, nor will they cause issues
regarding to the size.
Sometimes there are insane hard dependencies, but what's bad with those
dependencies? Take a look at the modules compiled into the default
kernel, most modules are unneeded on your machine ;).
