Well, there is still a problem with dependencies
created by a Suggests or Recommends, combined with a
policy that automatically installs those packages.

On my system, reverse depends for pulseaudio shows such
packages as mpg123, which shouldn't have an opinion about
which audio system you use, and initramfs-tools-tcos, which
appears to have no connection with audio at all.
