I don't get it.. why wouldn't you want the dependencies for the program your installing??
i think the bigger valid concern is the automatic removal of unneeded dependencies to save on space.

I understand some people might feel more familiar with a certain set of tools, but that's not really an objective measure for this particular discussion.
all in all, most of these moves will make it easier for DEVELOPERS, which is a good thing IMO. Right now packaging for maemo is more tedious for *some* developers than actually developing. With OBS you will basically just upload your stuff and it will be packaged for you.
