 I think you missed my comment on why it's needed:
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/503357

 These packages should be depended upon because pkg-config will append
 Cflags of Required.private modules.  This allows building when headers
 from a module include headers from another module, but you only link to
 the former.
