Debian policy does not (currently) demand this for dependency relationships. Policy states that dependencies represent other packages that are required for the first to work correctly. In this case, since chromium can be set up to work correctly without chromium-sandbox installed, it thus does not need to be considered a dependency. Whether or not the set requires administrator intervention is consequently not relevant, at least with respect to the statement policy makes about this. Best wishes, Mike
