That's because they're recommended.

Debian has three levels of dependencies:
* Depends: this is required.
* Recommends: some things may not work right or fully if this isn't
installed, but nothing's going to break.
* Suggests: you get some extra benefit from this.

On a desktop, I go with the recommends. On a server, I don't or it
usually tries to install X at some point. To change this:
sudo vim /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90install-recommends
and add the line:
APT::Install-Recommends "0";

Then I can use aptitude with no commands to install things if I want the
option to pick and choose at their dependencies.
