Comment (by dimpase):
I read the doc you provided, and it said something else:
''If package A has an order-only dependency on B, it simply means that B
must be built before A can be built. The version of B does not matter,
only the fact that B is installed matters. This should be used if the
dependency is purely a build-time dependency (for example, a dependency on
Python simply because the spkg-install file is written in Python).''
Against this background, the answer is that B is a runtime dependency, not
a build-time dependency, and thus it should not be order-only.
