I don't like to be the one to decide it. That is exactly the problem
with debhelper: some people say it is bloat and is not really
required, others as something ready for build-essential. And the third
party are module-source people, there are two ways that user can go
(with or without Debian support) and the decission is a lot more
complicated.

Personaly, I think that hard-core space-saving thinking in this context
is crap.  I would just make it depend on it, because AFAICS this will
only add dependencies on html2text, debconf-utils, po-debconf, and some
"standard" packages, so on a "normal" system it would install less than
7MB (2.3MB to download, and only once!).
And if some user does not like to install it, why do (s)he use the
Debian version anyways?  "apt-get source fuse-source" is just right for
him/her then.

IIRC the problem will disappear when debhelper will be added to
build-dependends.

Regards,
Eduard.
