Bug Description
The latest update for pulseaudio (1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5) in bionic now has libsnapd-glib1 as a dependency.
This is complete and utter nonsense. I do not want cascading dependencies that have no business being installed on the systems I manage.
Please rectify this at once.

It appears libsnapd-glib1 uses around 300 KB of disk space and has minimal dependencies:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.46), libjson-glib-1.0-0 (>= 1.2.0), libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.39.2)
Is there something undesirable here or is it just a matter of preference?
Generally speaking I agree software dependencies have become absurd in some cases. But more objectively I would like to understand if there is some specific issue here.
