If package A depends on package B, which depends on package C, then A logically depends on C. However, if A specifically requires something from C, rather than accessing it via B, A *must* declare its dependency on C. Indirect dependencies are not allowed. This was discussed within the last two months. If A does not use part of C directly it should not depend on it, because B could legitimately change its implementation to not require C.
