They aren't dependencies. They constrain versions.

Incorporations don't specify what packages are installed,
they merely state that *if* a package is installed, then it must
be at this particular version(s), so you don't get a set of
packages installed that aren't compatible with each other.

So it's normal for incorporations to list many packages
that you don't have installed.
