To illustrate: I'd managed to set up a Debian system without dbus (libdbus had to go in -- even Emacs depends on it these days). One upgrade and *whoosh* this thing wants to go in[1] (i just could avert it this time by ditching recommends).
I'm on the verge of giving up on binary distros. The (binary) interdependencies are reaching an all-or-nothing level, and for some folks it's by design. I grudgingly half-accepted /bin/ls dependincy on libselinux (why? -- and no, "it's just a teeny-weeny lib", wielded down-thread doesn't convince me. It doesn't seem to scale).
Time for a "reduced" Debian derivative, perhaps: "Curmudgeon's Cut"?

Presumably to get getfilecon() so that it can support the --context command-line option. (The alternative would be to have /bin/ls invoke the dynamic linker, which doesn't seem a terribly pleasant alternative.)

You should take a look at Gentoo. USE="-selinux" solves that problem.
