I definitely confirmed the breakage. 

Whether we *need* a RUN_DEPENDS is open.

E.g., In kdegraphics we have one program that needs TeX at runtime. We
pulled the TeX dependency because it forced all of TeX onto the first
CDROM's packages dir. The program is still built, though.

This is a similar case.
