Well, technically there are two cases:

  - dependencies on a host package
  - dependencies on a header-only package

However, even in the later case, the package that provides those headers
still needs to be enabled in the configuration and must also be built
and installed (actually, only installed as it is headers-only) before
the package that depends on it gets built.

I've marked the patch as rejected in Patchwork now.

Yann E. MORIN.
