The dependency was introduced because grml uses the font as default now.

But there's no reason to remove the package at all because it's possible to deactivate the font anyway. In live-cd mode you can use the 'nodefaultfont' bootoption (as stated in Release Notes of grml 0.8). On your hd-installation setting the consolefont can be done also via $CONSOLEFONT in /etc/grml/autoconfig. Just set it to a font you like, if you notice any problems feel free to drop me a note.
