This seems to be a misunderstanding of the package relationships in 
Ubuntu/Debian.
see e.g. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

Quote:
Depends
This declares an absolute dependency. A package will not be configured unless 
all of the packages listed in its Depends field have been correctly configured 
(unless there is a circular dependency as described above).

Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with 
this one in all but unusual installations.
End of quote

As far as I understood, juce-tools can be installed without all those
extra packages that are listed on that forum psoting, and you can start
projucer without these. So they do not qualify for a "depends".

If your attempt to compile an audio project fails with missing
dependencies, then this is something different and in my opinion falls
into the "recommends" category.
