But, since it's included in the package, and apparently (from the name)
will use a NBD device, then I think the dependency is logical
I disagree.
QEMU itself does not use NBD. Thus QEMU does not need to depend on
qemu-nbd. QEMU uses files on mounted file systems.
qemu-nbd is a — perhaps questionably named — utility that allows QEMU
disk images / files to be accessed as if they were NBDs. Not the other
way around. qemu-nbd does not allow QEMU to use NBDs.
As I understand it, nothing about /QEMU/ is dependent on any NBD support.
