So, for example, if you have bare bones install, and you want to, for example, install Ant, then, once you do apt-get install ant, it will discover that it needs Java to run and will also install Java, or if not possible to install will alert you, that you need to install it. So, for example, if you are going to run test before commit (to SDK repository), you would need testing environment, frameworks, framework sources, compilers and AIR sources / binaries (because you need to know your commit won't break them too). So, if you install flex-testing, you get all the code there is in the repository. There is another option of only source distribution with no binaries (not sure if it will be of much interested), but if such option existed you could also, for example, install only sources and compile yourself - in this way skipping the install of binaries.
