Right, I get that (although I see why my reply might imply I didn't),
but "aptitude why" is not acknowledging that dependency, which
interested me... I guess it omits dependencies from things that are
themselves automatically installed, perhaps?

Out of curiosity I tried that last night. Actually more accurately I
tried CMY, not CMYK. It made no difference. What is the K of CMYK? Cyan,
Magenta, Yellow, Kick-Ass??? Is there any reason I should expect CMYK to
do better than CMY or RGB?
