For the moment, we haven't entered the game in which we try to narrow
host dependencies to the particular package(s) that require it, just
because it was easier not to do so. Maybe it's time to change this, I
don't know.
However, it's sure that entering this game means adding yet another
level of configurability that is relatively hard to test (i.e checking
that each individual package properly lists all its mandatory
dependencies).
But I understand that having to install SVN (and later Git) is a bit
overkill.
