OK, I see this is stated in the description of the package:
Description: GNU binary utilities (BFD development files)
This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build
programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note
that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not
Allowed.
I'll remove need of using libbfd-dev since it seems to be an optional
safety feature.
