Hello,
from my point of view, the vast majority of users uses man to show the 
wanted man-page content (the reason to add the dependency). You are 
right, there are other possibilities, so man is not necessary  (the 
reason not to add the dependency).
I prefer to have the dependency to man there, but if the majority votes 
for not to have it there then it is OK for me too (better then the state 
in which each package handle this in the different way).
