Assuming this is true and by "depend" you also mean "build-depend", you just need to go deeper.

Well, yes, hence this bug report.

Well, it turned out my assumption was wrong.

How I am supposed to interpret this adverb 'transitively'.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transitive meaning 2.

"how to interpret?" is not the same as "what does the word mean?"

Then you may want to ask a more specific question about this. It looks like you already correctly understood that this is about recursive deps but maybe you missed that it's about build-deps too, or that the chain may be longer than three packages?

Where does the knowledge about this autoremoval come from?

I assume it's https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi or an equivalent source.

This might be the link that the tracker box needs to add then.

I don't see how would this link help as it doesn't contain what you wanted.
