Agree.

According to sources/ppp-2.4.3/pppd/Makefile.linux:
# Uncomment the next line to include support for PPP packet filtering.
# This requires that the libpcap library and headers be installed
# and that the kernel driver support PPP packet filtering.

So if you won't use packet filtering you need not libpcap.
