Sorry. Can't help unless there is a specific complaint. If a specific
package has unnecessary dependencies or things that can be split up,
file bug reports.

This can sometimes be split up. Again, you have to be specific to have a
meaningful conversation.

original code. I did not have gnome in those days. I wonder if it
really requires gnome, either directly or indirectly. Similarly for
xfce4-xfapplet-plugin, etc.
Yes. Read the description of the plugin. It is a wrapper around GNOME
applets and yes, package dependencies change over time. So what predates
which project doesn't make much of a difference to the current state of
dependencies.
