That's on purpose.

Since debian-goodies is a package containing many small programs it
wouldn't be wise to put all their depedencies in "Depends", because
not everyone uses every tool.

But we could add the hard dependencies for each program in the package
description like devscripts (a similar package, but for package
developers) or hobbit-plugins (another program collection) do it.

                Regards, Axel
