It's already complicated enough.
Hi Hendrik, I'm not entirely sure I correctly understand what you think that could accomplish. In case you meant it the way I _think_ you did, this would be my two cents worth of comment: It wouldn't help a bit, at least in the case at hand. The package dependency exists to make sure a library (here: libsystemd.so.0) the application (here: sshd) was linked against is present on the system, as otherwise the application would simply fail to start, which is undesirable.
