Well, actually - and here's the reason I'm being defensive here. You pointed out the inconsistency on the bug tracker, and the package maintainer said "no", so you escalated the issue to the community at large. It's that escalation that is tiresome to me. Now, excepting all that, in a way, I agree with you to a small extent. If the author specifically lists the utils as optional, then they're optional. Request a reopening of the bug report linking to that documentation.
