I don't run debian any more but as I recall you can find out why these are
being pulled in:
apt-get install apt-rdepends
apt-rdepends openbox
The debian package changelog[1] says that openbox-gnome-session and
openbox-kde-session are now "recommended" dependencies, so maybe that's
it. I know that at some point ubuntu started installing recommended
dependencies by default, don't know about debian. I used to always turn this
off by creating the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/06norecommends:
APT
{
Install-Recommends "false";
Install-Suggests "false";
}
Or you can use the apt-get command line option --no-install-recommends when
you install openbox.
