It's possible, but none of the package maintainers are as paranoid about 
having libglib2.0-0 & libgtk2.0-0 (and their dependencies) installed on 
their servers to have bothered making the change.

Why are you installing the postgis package on your server? Which of the 
executables it provides do you use?

My guess is that use none of the executables, and only need to install 
the postgresql-9.5-postgis-2.2 & postgresql-9.5-postgis-scripts packages 
on your server.

Kind Regards,
