For gtk2 you have to ask adobe. As far as mozilla-common you need this so browsers can see you plugins.
This isnt a bug.

BTW if you dont like all this you can just get the file from the adobe website and stick it in your browsers plugin directory.

libxt, nss and gtk2 are link-level dependencies, without them the plugin won't work. mozilla-common is a simple profile.d script that sets the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH so every application knows where mozilla plugins are located.
libcurl.so.3/4 is dlopen()'ed by the plugin to grab stuff from the internet, so this is a dependency also.
