The split and how others should depend on it sound right (as I understood it when I very lightly tested this idea back in that thread). The biggest thing to check is that the doxygen binary gets built identically irregardless of what supporting packages are installed (ie graphviz, etc). I don't know/use doxygen to test this (and didn't want to install graphviz an 90 supporting packages to really test this), but it should be straightforward to build doxygen w/out graphviz/latex/ghostscript absent and present (but not set up as a Depends on the .info file) and compare the outputs to make sure they're identical.
