It depends on what you mean by "require": I think that Gajim without dnsutils does not adhere to correct XMPP clients behaviour, as it won't honor DNS SRV records. To emphasize my point, one could also say "Gajim doesn't require vowels on keyboards, it works without them.". Sure, but not all texts could be typed without cut-n-paste then. In our case, the server info can be filled by hand, but this won't give the full functionality of SRV records which order and prioritize alternate servers. Just my $.2 :)
