Bug#942362: zenity: Stupid dependencies that pull a lot of useless stuff, e.g. spellchecking packages

Package: zenity
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I write this as a followup of #927155, now that synaptic no longer depends on
zenity.
Installing zenity as a dependency for any package pulls libwebkit2gtk,
libwebkit2gtk pulls libenchant, libenchant pulls aspell-en and the rest and we
end up with 100+MB of useless stuff.
So please add what is not really necessary as recommended or suggested
dependency.
Thank you.
