apt chases dependencies (which it must to keep your system functional),
and recommendations (though you can turn that off if you want, the
manual explains how)

here are the depends and recommends my install finds today:

$ apt-cache show pd-purest-json | grep -e ^Depends -e ^Recommends

0.10), liboauth0 (>= 0.9.1), puredata-core | pd
Recommends: pd-libdir

$ apt-cache show puredata-core | grep -e ^Depends -e ^Recommends

apt doesn't know or care about that
