On Ubuntu, apt-get by default installs *all* recommended dependencies
for a package, unless it's told otherwise.
That means that it installs *everything* that might add some slight
additional functionality to Kexi, not only the dependencies that are
absolutely needed for Kexi to function.

I suspect that the "NEW packages will be installed:" list might
possibly be shorter, if you install it with:

    apt-get --no-install-recommends install kexi

Since I don't use Ubuntu/Debian anymore, I can't confirm this myself though.
Also note that I'm only a user of Kexi, not a developer, so I can't
tell you which packages are really required dependencies and which
only allow for some small additional feature which you might not even
use.

Cheers,
