If an ebuild lists bzip2 in DEPEND, the package manager has to bring it in.
The proposed method would only add automatically determined dependencies, not
remove what you listed in DEPEND.
A hypothetical problem is; If a package source file has a bz extension but does
not need bzip2 in any way, an extra dependency is in effect. But can this
situation ever happen ? I guess not.

Manual override as in "emerge --nodeps" or something.
No, manual override as in "the ebuild turns off auto-detection and
specifically asks for app-arch/{bzip2,gzip,tar,whatever} using DEPEND"
