I'm using lxqt with openbox; gtk-engine-murrine was my last dep on gtk2; i tried to -Rdd it, then I removed gtk2, and still numix theme for openbox works fine.
So, as it is not a "whole package runtime dep", it may be a good idea to just consider it an optional dep.

This task depends upon

Maybe you can live without it, however GTK2 apps will look like garbage. Now you may not use any, but the majority of Numix users do, and if I demote gtk-engine-murrine to optdepends for the minority I'll be getting a lot of "my apps look like garbage" bug reports. Unfortunately, most people don't read the terminal, some heretics even use pacman GUIs (ugh). I'd prefer that you modify the PKGBUILD locally to not include the dep, numix is not updated that often anyway.
