If I had to guess, fonts-xorg-75dpi has:

Requires(post): chkconftpath

i.e., it only requires it in the post script. Since it's not a
generic runtime dependency, it lets you remove it once the fonts
package has successfully installed.

(This means that the next time the font package gets upgraded,
chkfontpath, etc. will get reinstalled...)
