Description

Regarding the size of containers and on bare-metal setups, loose dependency declarations are one of the problems.
We should have finer grained dependency control in each ros nodes package.xml

Purpose

Reduce setup time
Reduce setup size
Fine grained control over dependency scheme

Possible approaches

Instead of just relying on <depend>, we should leverage other dependency tags :

<build_depend>
<test_depend>
<exec_depend>
<doc_depend>

The list of Top 25 ROS nodes that includes most <depend> tags

Definition of done

Investigate and complete the top 25 ROS nodes that have the most dependencies
