We add all runtime dependencies as build dependencies for sage. I really meant the difference between direct and indirect dependencies. Some standard packages (e.g. 'prometheus_client') are only there because some other standard package (in the example it is 'notebook') depends on it. In that case the sage package should depend only on the direct dependency and the indirect dependency is pulled in by that.

I have been meaning to come up with such a list myself, in the process
of continuing to rework Sage's build system (and to make it easier to
package and install sagelib itself without all the other crud related
to sage-the-distribution).

I think the list Jeroen gave above (B) is pretty close to that as it
is, but I don't believe it's exactly right (for example, sage does not
require both python2 and python3--just one or the other).
