So let's codify (Mako please put this into the appropriate Policy doc):

"Dependencies Between Ubuntu Components"

1. Packages in Ubuntu Main MUST NOT Depend on packages in any other 
component of Ubuntu. For example, a package in Main may not Depend on a 
package in Restricted or Universe.
2. Packages in Ubuntu Restricted MAY Depend on packages in Ubuntu Main 
or Restricted, but MUST NOT Depend on packages in Universe or any other 
component of Ubuntu.
3. Packages in Ubuntu Universe MAY Depend on packages in any component 
of Ubuntu.
