Details

To burn dvds, k3b needs the dvd+rw-tools package, on which the k3b package currently doesn't depend. The dvd+rw-tools package is a very small one, so even though it might be optional for people that just burn cds, I think it should still be included to cater for people that want to burn dvds.
This task depends upon

hmm ... but it would mean that you are forced to have dvd+rw-tools installed, also if you don't have a dvd burner

The dvd+rw-tools package takes only 192K when installed. Other packages install megabytes of stuff I don't need. I think this 192K extra weights up to the problem people run into when trying to burn a DVD with k3b.

i'll think about it for the next release ... not sure for now (till now, i never added not needed deps just like that) ... one alternative is to have a info, when updating/installing k3b, that you need dvd+rw-tools to burn dvd ... or sometihn like this

192kb extra is 192kb too much on a system not having a dvd burner

The info sounds like a good alternative to depending on it.
